[MLTI-HS] Dial Up Modems - Action Required

[Jeff Mao]

Greetings everyone,

We are excited to begin working with your school this year. As you  
may or may not be aware, the Apple MacBook computers do not include a  
telephone modem. For some participants, this will mean that they  
require an external modem unit to allow them to use a telephone dial  
up Internet service account while at home. The Department will  
purchase dial up modems for use by educators who require one for home  
Internet connectivity. Please poll your faculty to determine the  
total number of users who will require a dial up modem to be able to  
connect to the Internet from home using a dial up account and report  
that total to us online at:

http://www.maine.gov/mlti/educator

Submissions must be made no later than August 29, 5 pm, in order for  
the Department to place the order and have the modems shipped to your  
school in a time frame consistent with delivery of the MacBook  
computers. Do not request modems "just in case". Only request modems  
for teachers who have confirmed that they connect to the Internet  
from home using a telephone dial up account. Submit data only once  
for your entire school. If you need to modify your submission before  
the deadline, please contact Laura Brown, laura.brown at maine.gov,  
(207) 624-6746.

If, at a later date, it is determined that another teacher needs a  
dial up modem, requests can be made directly to the MLTI Project team  
by contacting Laura Brown, laura.brown at maine.gov, (207) 624-6746.  
Requests will be fulfilled as quickly as possible.

Note: Internet connectivity from home for any participant is the  
responsibility of the participant. The Department does not provide  
Internet connectivity.

Thank you,
MLTI Project Team
