1.  Pressing needs: The answer to this is very simple - money and
training. Money is needed to upgrade current equipment and network
installation. Training is a must. The majority of teachers in the
classroom today attended undergraduate school before the introduction of
technology. PA training facilities for educators have been closed down.
There is a need to reopen those facilities in ALL parts of the state.

2.Needs of schools and libraries: I think the needs are similar.
Equipment is needed (although is seems that libraries in the Phila. area
are acquiring equipment.) There is also a need for trained personnel to
operate the equipment. As the Technology Teacher Leader of my school, I
am expected to teach my classes, run the computer lab, and keep up the
maintenace of all classroom computers in our main building and 2
annexes. This does not include whatever additional maintenance will be
required should we ever become networked beyond the computer lab.

3. Rural schools and libraries: Unfortunately, I am not familiar with
any rural areas, however, I feel that their needs would be similar to
those in the city.
