During  the past six months UC Davis has been doing a joint project with 
Pacific  Bell and the Davis High School  to see how high school students 
can use the resources of the Internet. The connection to the high school 
consists  of a 56k link and router  to tie their local AppleTalk network 
to the Internet. 

Some  of the uses have  been to tie into  various library card catalogs, 
obtaining  online  information  on  programs  and  requirements  at some 
colleges  and universities,  ftping software  from many  sites, and,  of 
course, reading USENET. In all it has been very rewarding. 

Now  the question:  Are there  any other  high schools  connected to the 
Internet?  The Davis High students would like to share their experiences 
with  other  high  school  students  and  find  out  if  there are other 
resources  in which they  would be interested.  Perhaps we can  set up a 
mail  list or newsgroup for discussions. I think that it would be a real 
education  for  high  school  students  to  talk  to others in different 
environments  and share some of lifes problems and solutions experienced 
during  a particularly confusing  time in life.  (remember when you were 
that age? ;-)
