I see these installations as just the first step to familiarize the teachers and students with the personal
computer as an integral part of the classroom. While school is out during the summer, I'm planning to get a
summer program started for teachers to familiarize themselves with the computer and the accompanying software to
better understand how it might be integrated into the curriculum for the upcoming school year. Pond School
is a fine example of how the computer and the associated educational software can be integrated into the
curriculum. Once the teaching staff is ready, then the next step would be to increase the number of
computers per-capita in the classroom.
I cannot thank Huntley Gracie enough for volunteering his time and the use of his vehicle to assist
in clearing and distributing the computers to the Basic schools.
Sincere thanks also go out to Dierdre and Jermane who has volunteered to be on call to
keep the computers up and running at all the schools that have received computers so far.
