dberg videoconferencing technology. Howe's low student population had been a formidable obstacle for schools to providing elective classes such as foreign language. Howe leveraged videoconferencing to provide district-wide classes. Two or three students in each rural school, together, comprised a large enough group to make such classes viable. As a result, Howe was able to add classes such as Spanish I, Spanish II, AP Psychology, Physics, and Art. The district now uses its video lab continuously seven hours a day, five days a week to provide such classes. Howe is also now connected with cultural and educational institutions to provide experiences that otherwise would not have been available. Through Tandberg's Connections program, Howe high school literature students have collaborated with the staff at Rutgers University to stage a production of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Howe third graders have chatted with staff at the Indianapolis Zoo's Penguin Exhibit. The system enables the district to introduce other Howe students to new places, ideas, and experiences. Howe also found its videoconferencing system invaluable in providing professional development opportunities for teachers and other staff, who leverage it to take graduate courses from state universities without traveling. Lance Ford, IT Director for Howe, proclaimed, "The distance learning program at Howe has allowed this district to create a stronger curriculum, expand the educational opportunities for its students, and provide an exceptional educational program for the benefit of not only the students and teachers, but also the community in general."
