Technology
All of the computers in the district access the internet through the district's network, which can dramatically slow down any transferring of large files anywhere in the network. As of 2005, the district installed a firewall, which blocks sites deemed not appropriate to be accessed at school, including Myspace, among others. This has caused some controversy, and a great deal of debate, at all the schools affected.
All teachers have a district email account, which is run from the servers at the district office, and all teachers enter grades electronically through AERIES, a grade reporting program that then allows students and parents to check their grades online. The district also has its schools on SchoolLoop, which allows teachers to communicate with students over the internet.

Famous quotes containing the word technology:
“The real accomplishment of modern science and technology consists in taking ordinary men, informing them narrowly and deeply and then, through appropriate organization, arranging to have their knowledge combined with that of other specialized but equally ordinary men. This dispenses with the need for genius. The resulting performance, though less inspiring, is far more predictable.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
“Our technology forces us to live mythically, but we continue to think fragmentarily, and on single, separate planes.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“Radio put technology into storytelling and made it sick. TV killed it. Then you were locked into somebody else’s sighting of that story. You no longer had the benefit of making that picture for yourself, using your imagination. Storytelling brings back that humanness that we have lost with TV. You talk to children and they don’t hear you. They are television addicts. Mamas bring them home from the hospital and drag them up in front of the set and the great stare-out begins.”
—Jackie Torrence (b. 1944)
