Objectives for Integrating Technology
Internet Connection:We have two options for connecting the three computers to the Internet: either a wired, or wireless connection. We would connect Ethernet wires from Mrs. Golliday’s office to the board room by running them along the ceiling. The advantages to this option include a secure and reliable connection. The disadvantages include: modifying wires to fit our need and stapling visible wires along the ceiling. The wireless connection wouldn’t require wires, but provides less security. Our goal is to devise a workable solution a week before our next travel day.
Website Design: We will also integrate technology that will not produce immediately tangible results for computer users. Kyle is working on a web site for the administration building. He started on the following pages: Homepage/Park News, Jones Park, Lincoln Park, Virginia Park, Foundation, Administration and History.

1. Headphones
2. Screen readers
3. Computer use tutorial software
