New York School Districts Select Linux Desktops from Novell to Improve
Student Access to Technology
,----[ Quote ]
| Ultimately, some 80,000 students in the Rome City School District and
| other schools supported by the Madison Oneida Regional Information
| Center could benefit. As a result, students will gain technology skills
| and a new research tool that will improve their learning experience.
|
| "The ratio of computers to students in our school districts currently
| makes it impossible for students to get enough hands-on experience to
| fully leverage the power of technology and the Internet," said Joan
| Sotherden, director of the Mohawk Regional Information Center. "Thanks
| to the low cost of Linux on Intel processor-based hardware and the
| management and productivity tools that Novell provides, we can now
| expand access to technology much more broadly. We hope to move quickly
| from the pilot to a full deployment in the schools that make up our
| region."
