Planning for the road ahead - In the past fourteen years the telecommunications technology that connects our Regional Distance Learning schools has been through two significant technology platform upgrades while maintaining a virtually seamless transition for the end-users.

DL platforms have traditionally been upgraded every five years. The last conversion/upgrade to our regional network occured in 2003. There are a number of compelling reasons to move forward with an upgrade/conversion at this time.

Indian Lake Central School, located in the Heart of the Adirondacks, and Maple Hill High School across the Hudson River from Albany, both began participating in classes for the first time this fall on the Distance Learning Network.

See: Network Map

The new rooms, as do all DL rooms in the Regional Distance Learning Network, have the capacity to simultaneously connect interactively with as many as three remote schools.

The photos to the left show how other districts have adapted Distance Learning technology to meet their particular needs.





Washington, Saratoga, Warren, Hamilton, Essex BOCES is now offering school bus driver training courses over the Distance Learning Network for WSWHE BOCES sites.

If your school or a neighboring school has a Distance Learning Lab, then it is possible to have your transportation staff attend courses in your area without having to travel to Saratoga Springs.

By using its partnership in instructional technology with schools in northeastern New York, WSWHE BOCES is able to provide a more convenient and cost saving way for your transportation staff to attend training programs and fulfill their state requirements. For more information contact
Lance Freiberger.       See: Additional Bus Driver Training Information


A DL Flier designed to provide information about distance learning to students is now available in addition to a DL Program Poster.

The fliers are custom made for each school on the network, can be downloaded (as either Microsoft Word documents or Adobe .pdf files) and easily printed.

The poster is in the form of a .jpg image, also easily downloaded and printed.
