Hi George,

We are know as SITACT Incorporated and we operate out of Chicago. You can
find more about us at www.sitact.ent. We are into developing virtual
learning environments and course settings so that it becomes easy to set up
an online course for a teacher. A sample of what we do can be seen at
www.lms.sitact.net . Please use the guest login
and use "frankieuncle" as the guest access code. What you will see in here
is a simple course that describes the software, but this course can be
designed to teach diverse subject matter to students. If you feel the kind
of work we are doing will be useful for you, we will be glad to work with
you setting up such virtual courses for collaborative dissemination and consumption of knowledge. Even if you didn't like the work we do, please let us know if we can do anything else for you.

Regards,
Sanjib

Hi George,
Thanks for your comments on my lab! I do have a projector and a SMART board. I have the kids come in and sit on the carpet. I tell/explain to them their lesson before I turn them loose!
Thanks,
Amber

For funding, try recycling used printer cartridges and cell phones withFunding Factory. It's a great program. We have raised nearly $20,000 since we started in Feb. 2002. If you have good parental support, it will be a great solution for you. Without it, I simply could not purchase new hardware.

283 students PreK-8; Our school struggles, but they do what they can to keep us striving. The teachers are caught in an ink mode. Everything is printed. I have the same hats as you. I am the only tech person and I am new at it myself. I am responsible for every printer and computer in the school. I also am writing grants to try and update our classroom computers, (they are windows 95, and 98). I want to get the students networking, but thus far a Wiki is as far as I have been able to get our teachers.

On the forum you wrote that you are a computer lab teacher at a Catholic school. I am too. I just started writing some grants and I have many cool sites if you want any info let me know any specifics. What grades are you teaching?

Hi George, I was looking at your AUP (nice job, by the way) and noticed a tiny typo. Thought you might like to know.... should be 100% safe, not save.
"While OLM uses content filtering technology on all school computers with Internet access to protect against unacceptable web content, no web filtering technology is 100% save." N.
