Board OKs Classroom Computer Network
An educational technology plan for hooking up classroom computers to a districtwide network was approved by school trustees this week.
The Fullerton School District plan tells schools how they may use $200,000 allocated for the network last year.
Each classroom in every school will get a network-capable computer and eventually be connected so that students, teachers and administrators can communicate and share instructional materials.
Classrooms that already have computers will get funds to upgrade and improve their systems and provide training on how to use the network.
District officials said the goal is to provide tools to support, extend and supplement instruction.
The plan “is going to give our kids opportunities to be more computer literate,” school board member Karen Chavez said at Tuesday’s meeting. “We’re trying to educate them for the 21st century.”
