I am wondering if your school has a comprehensive technology package in place for students receiving financial aid. By comprehensive, I mean including such items as geek squad support in setting up on internet connection, basic computer/internet/printing
access, and adequate exposure/mastery of keyboarding skills (in light of tablets), and internet safety instruction.
What do your financial aid packages include/exclude? How would you define "basic computer/internet access" in today's world? Is wireless, high-speed internet access essential? How do you make sure kids coming into your school at grades beyond third can
keep up with keyboarding and internet safety expectations?
Thanks, in advance, for your reply! I do appreciate hearing your thoughts.
Kind regards,
