These pictures
were taken of Ms. Modjeski's first period class on Thursday January 9, 2003 ,
the first class to use the new lap tops. The new 45 lap tops are Compaqs with
a 1.4 Ghz Athlon XP processor, 240 MB of Ram, a 30 GB hard drive, a DVD rom drive,
and Windows XP Professional is installed on all of them. These lap tops are to
be used for the 6th, 7th, and 8th grades. The lap tops are distributed between
three different mobile carts, each holding 15 lap tops respectively. Each mobile
cart will also be accompanied by a Hewit Packard Laser Jet 2200dn printer. Each
Lap Top will be equipped with an optical mouse and a headset. All of these lap
tops will take full advantage of the new 30 antennas strategically placed through
out the school provided by Erate year five. These antennas are for wireless connection
to the internet. It is now possible to use the new lap tops anywhere in the school
and still be able to connect to the internet. Also in this grant, the school
received two new Smart Boards and two new projectors. These Smart Boards are used
with a projector to create an interactive board. To go along with the two Smart
Boards, the school also received two new Gateway lap tops to run the two smart
boards. |
