Software Follow-Up
Hi Art,
Computer Lab
Hi Art, It’s XXXXXXX from the UIUC networking class. I was curious about how everything was going in terms of software setup (hopefully well)….? And I also wanted to get a brief description of the role the three programs play in the cadets education/graduation, etc. I know we discussed this many times, but I’m doing a final writeup for class and wanted to make sure I had all the details correct. If you could help me out with that, I’d be very appreciative. So, any info on the ReadOn, Meeting the Challenge, and GED 21st century programs and their role would be great!
Have a wonderful holiday.

Hello,
The software setups for the legacy programs are still an issue, but I managed to find a way for the critical ones to work on individual computers . . .correctly. Thankfully, all of you helped us out tremendously with the hardware difficulties.
Meeting the Challenge – This program is designed to help with objectives set at the initial enrollment phase and are required to be completed in their entirety BEFORE graduation or the cadet does not successfully graduate the program.
GED 21st Century – used to aid and develop testing skills and increase the overall body of knowledge that is expected of a high school graduate or above. The success of this skill building program enables most of the cadets to pass critical sections of the GED test cycle.
The program Read On enables the students to develop and sustain skills for reading, comprehension and vocabulary. Some cadets have jumped 3 and 4 grade levels in reading test scores after using this software.
I also sent a FAQ which outlines a few more aspects of the program.
Hopefully this helps you out some. Take care.
