1 -- Wiring Project
On 16 November, 1996, Tech Corps WI volunteers
in conjunction with school district employees, administrators, and
school board members, wired all forty classrooms at Gifford Elementary
School for network and telephone. Tech Corps WI wired five classrooms,
the library and the computer lab for network connection to the library
Internet/Intranet Server, providing Internet materials for classroom
curriculum.

-- Library Laptop Loan Project
In September, 1997, Tech Corps Wisconsin
provided six laptop computers to the Gifford Elementary School Library
for student checkout.
The school will make five of these available for student overnight
checkout and use one for administration/backup.
The program will be co-coordinated and
administered by the Gifford librarian and a Gifford teacher.
This is a pilot program to determine if this idea can be successfully
applied in an elementary school setting using refurbished donated
computers.
