Superintendents at the Workstation?
Vaughan, Larry
Learning Tomorrow. Journal of the Apple Education Advisory Council, n4 p143-151 Win 1988
This paper considers the possible creation of communications networks for school superintendents, and discusses EdLink, a pilot joint venture among Apple and GEISCO (General Electric Information Services Corporation), the joint developers of AppleLink, and the office of the New Hampshire Governor's Excellence Initiative. Arguing that EdLink (AppleLink) is flexible, easy to use, and cost effective, this report describes the use of the system by superintendents and other staff members of local school districts during the pilot study. It is noted that many superintendents participating in this program, once introduced to the MacIntosh, also used this microcomputer for a variety of other software applications, including word processing, graphics, and desktop publishing. It is concluded that users will use a chosen system only if that system is easy to use and has observable benefits. (EW)
