In response to Currie Morrison's comment, "Waiting for the next
generatin of college trained teachers is too long to wait. This
legislation needs to manipultated and a way that a significant sum of
money be spent on Training and acceptable uses of this technology.
THIS IS AN AREA WHERE BUSINESS SEEMS TO DO A MUCH BETTER JOB THAN
SCHOOL DISTRICTS. Why????"
When educators team with business people, an untold wealth of knowledge
and expertise can become available. By combining 20 years of business
experience with 3 years of teaching/educational volunteer work, I was
able to evaluate, plan and implement a high tech computer lab (We call
it Beyond 2000) that virtually pays for itself!!! The lab contains 12
petium 100 computers, two color scanners, two color printers, one large
screen TV connected to one computer (for demo purposes), internet acces
via an ISDN pohone line and a large file server (Novell 4.1). ANY
school can accomplish this. (I now spend part of every day consulting
with other schools who want to do the same thing,
