The Lake-Lehman School District does have a storage area on its network. Each student and faculty member is assigned a space on their "U" drive. This can be accessed once you have logged onto a computer using your personal user name and password. Teachers can add class notes, power points, templates, etc. to the students' U drives. This is convenient for absences and setting up for large projects.
Our email system is through Novell. All teachers have an email address, but students do not. I mainly access my work email only at school, but there is an option to log on at home as well.
The most important thing I read in this chapter was about intranets. Lake-Lehman has started to switch over to an intranet for absences and pay stubs. I am hoping this will continue to evolve to eliminate the massive paper trail we have in the district. It will be nice to have a forum that everyone can access that isn't posted on our main webpage that anyone and everyone can see.
