George I completely agree with the idea of Technology having a true integration into the curriculum (Oh there is that bad word). I do not think that computers or programs are meant to supplant any instruction but rather to support it. Too often Reader Rabbit and Accelerated Reader and Acce

We had people request our machines last year that were old. We then wiped HD and restored. We gave them away thru a drawing. We gave away around 30 old machines. Once I figured out how much time Craig spent on it, it wasn't worth the cost. The PR was good but not the cost. If I do this aga

I'm assuming they're macs, can they all run 10.4? (let alone 10.5). I tried surfing on one running 10.2, I think it was truly laughing at me. If I still had to support win95 to 2000, that would be crazy. When teachers wanted to keep the IIe's and then later the powermacs, we would not provide tech
