Re: [school-discuss] Fodder for all to use as they please



The documents reside at 

http://morrisbrandon.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=41

both in pdf and odp formats. They will be available as a flash animation
shortly, as well.

Don't recall if the Terminal Server question was addressed. 
Our project dealt solely with the student platform as this was a PTA
(parent) not district project at the beginning. 

We wanted to be as non-intrusive to the present district computing
platform plus that would have introduced teacher training issues at the
rollout that would have only muddied the water. By keeping things as
simple as possible, we could demonstrate that the concept worked and go
from there.

Regards,
William
