Professional Training & Tutorials
The decision to integrate networking technology into a school system is a daunting one. In the planning stage, considerations include the needs of the classroom, types of equipment required, training resources for teachers and educators, and the budgeting available.

Perhaps most important is the training of educators in the uses, possibilities and hazards of the internet. Find training and instructional resources by browsing the links provided here.
