Desk: 1-888-427-9173 WSWHE BOCES coordinates the
planning and implementation of an interactive video/voice
network that allows for the simultaneous sharing of
educational courses and programs between participating
schools districts. High school and college level academic
courses for students, staff development opportunities for
school personnel and community based activities for adults
are all being scheduled over the network.
Currently there are
interactive classroom sites in the following districts:
Corinth, Fort Edward, Galway, Glens Falls, Granville,
Hadley-Luzerne, Indian Lake, Johnsburg, Keene,
Mechanicville, Newcomb, Schuylerville, South Glens Falls,
Warrensburg, Waterford-Halfmoon, and WSWHE BOCES.
Additionally, in collaboration with Capital Region BOCES and
Hamilton-Fulton-Montgomery BOCES, programming from sites in
those regions is also available to SAN schools for a total
of 40 participating sites. Current
advancements in the technology are enhancing the capacity of
SAN to serve its clients. Because of the recent technology
conversion to ATM, districts are now able to schedule
interregional courses without the technical constraints that
had previously limited the number of simultaneous
interconnects. In the future, this technology will also
allow for program connection to other regions in New York
State and the nation. The SAN has also been improved through
the addition of a video gateway which allows the Network to
connect with sites that use videoconference technology. A
primary use of this feature is to conduct interactive
virtual field trips to museums, zoos and other educational
institutions. Distance Learning Summer School The
Distance Learning Summer School provides non-credit academic
support services in grades 7 and 8 in the core discipline
areas of English/Language Arts and Mathematics. The service
provides coordination and planning for program development,
staffing and reporting, as well as supervision of the summer
program. Related Links: Gateway
