WHY WIRELESS?

Reading the Fischbowl 2007 May entry was about the Arapahoe High School going wireless. The High School offers the wireless access Monday-Friday. Some people didn't like the idea, but for the most part it was a hit. This plays a part in people using technology. By them offering wireless access not only did the students benefit but the parents and other adults in the community are allowed to use it. The wireless access is also good for the teachers who use blogging and make their assignments.

This wireless access also give the students and teachers the opportunity to use the Internet outside the straight arrow time of Monday-Friday 7:20-2:16. Life does occur outside this time. The web can be used as a good communication and informational tool and the wi-fi gives all a chance to use the information. The web also has a wealth of online resources that the teachers can browse and use the ones that will best fit their approach to teaching.
