Winchester Kentucky understands what chasing the technology dragon means


Stories like this are rarely deemed sexy enough to make it to the level of litter box liner, however, the struggle is repeated all over the country every year. Winchester Kentucky understands how vicious the technology chase is: " The Winchester Sun: As technology funding shifts, schools must find ways to replace outdated hardware."

"...OK, now we have the equipment, but not all of our teachers know what to do with it,'" he (Marty Park, technology coordinator for the Clark County Public Educational System) said. "...
