District Educational Technology Plan Team - Humboldt County ...

Computer Lab Equipment: There is one networked 9-station lab with networked color printer, scanner, and two
digital cameras.
25
Teacher Classroom Equipment: Each teacher has at least one networked multimedia computer workstation. All
classrooms have independent inkjet printers and are networked with a color and black & white printer in the office
and library.
Student Classroom Equipment: Computers vary greatly within the school. Some classrooms have no dedicated
student computers while others have as many as four. All student computer workstations are networked; however, a
few have limited access due to age of machine. This depends on grade level and subject area. Most student
workstations are over four years old. Upgrades have been made where benefit could be affected without an
unacceptable financial investment. Computers have, for the most part, been placed on tables that were not originally
intended for computer use; therefore, the workstations are not ergonomically designed.
Loleta Union Elementary School District uses Power School to maintain student records and student achievement.
Email is used extensively by administration to communicate with staff, parents, students, and community. Many
teachers are beginning to utilize Power School's Power Grade to communicate with staff, parents, students, and
community. The district is committed to continued support of these software and continued staff development to
ensure optimal use of the software capabilities.
The Local Area Network backbone is one strand fiber optic that connects to 100/10 Base-T HP switches. Wide
Area Network connection to the Internet and email is T1 line through the Humboldt County Office of Education.
The District has a total of two servers ranging from 300 MHz older NT 4 servers to Macintosh G5 800 MHz OSX.
