Better late than never, coming from current director of the Regional Math/Science Collaborative of SW PA and former teacher, > 1) What are the one or two most pressing needs of > your PA school or library for the implementation > of effective and sustainable telecommunications > programs? Given the fragmentation of school districts (501) and municipalities (even more!) a pressing need voiced by many discussion participants-- and endorsed by our experience in trying to help school districts to work together-- there is a need to build in incentives that encourage-- and reward districts and libraries/municipalities that work together to make the best use of available expertise and telecommunications resources. I concur with the many points made thus far on the other two questions. And again would especially endorse the comment made upon the rest of the state supporting the need to serve rural areas.
