Computer Literacy Instruction for Communities and Kids – “CLICK” for Ada’s program
takes into account the needs of the community, offering quality technology and training at
a safe, easy access location, and positioning computers in diverse locations around the
city and within the county. It provides laptops for special needs students to take home
when needed. It increases student access to computer assisted instruction (CAI), the
network and the Internet by opening the CLICK center after school hours, and by making
technology mobile – brings the lab to the student instead of the student to the lab. The
program is expected to serve a possible student population of 280 per year. In addition,
the free computers will allow six students access per night. Programs will also be
available to adults and will include technology, basic literacy, workplace skills and GED
instructions.
