April 30, 2010, Newsletter Issue #288: Connecting To A Network
Tip of the Week
There are many ways to connect to the numerous networks, and sometimes finding a connection is not an easy task. Some options are:
Local bulletin board systems allow users to ask questions, offer ideas, and receive feedback from other network users. Local systems are readily available, and a free connection can usually be arranged. Computer stores, the public library, education agencies, or computing centers at local colleges may provide information about bulletin boards in your area.
College and university computer systems are usually available free or at low cost to students. These normally connect to a network that in turn provides access to the Internet.
Statewide and regional systems offer opportunities for K-12 teachers and students to connect to the Internet. Contact your state education agency about services and costs in your area.
Local school and district computing facilities are being developed. Check with your building or district computer support personnel about what is available to you.
Commercial vendors provide a wide range of information resources for a fee. Many, including America Online and CompuServe, offer connections to the Internet.
