Four Directions Site Visit to Takini
Visit Made By: Brian Newberry
Dates Of Visit: 14-15, January
Goals:
1) assist Val Hlavka in configuring web server for intranet use
2) discuss Summer Institute with Takini staff
4) assist teachers/classes in developing intranet resources
Objectives:
1) configure Takini web server to support the school's development of an intranet
2) discuss SI 99 with Takini team
3) create web pages for the Takini intranet
Activities:
On 14-Jan-99 Val and I worked to configure the NT server to work as a web serve and to
support Macintosh networking. On 15-Jan-99 I worked with a good number of the Takini staff
to create intranet pages.
Outcomes:
The Takini server was set up to work with Macintosh computers. A number of the Takini
staff have created web resources for the intranet. Sadly, during the last session someone
deleted most of the resources!

Evaluation Of Site Visit:
This site visit was a useful one. Takini is one of the original 4D schools and has gone
though a lot of tumultuous changes in the past three years. Staff attending the sessions
received information about Four Directions that they might not have otherwise known. Staff
attending the intranet sessions learned how to use a browser to access the school intranet
as well as how to create their own pages.
Recommendations:
Takini still needs connectivity. We must do what ever we can to make this happen. Future
site visits should in part focus on creation of intranet pages and curriculum sharing.
Students at Takini do a lot of authentic multimedia projects that we should encourage
Takini to share.
