Interactive Multimedia Resource Retrieval and Distribution System Students and teachers need classroom access to information of all kinds, including multimedia information in a variety of formats from a variety of sources. In order to fully participate in a society that increasingly communicates in multimedia, students and teachers need to have the ability to both access and produce multimedia information in the classroom. The technology proposed for our Bond will provide an Interactive Multimedia Resource Retrieval and Distribution System, including cabling plant and mini head-end resources in each school building (video on demand, CATV and CCTV w/ local origination, and digital streaming w/ local origination); classroom low voltage cabling for multimedia presentation systems; and district-wide head-end cabling and interfaces for IP multicast, CCTV broadcast, and interactive videoconferencing systems. This technology will provide the necessary infrastructure and functionality to support the active use of all media types in instruction and professional development, including production and publication of multimedia locally by students and staff at all levels.
