SCHOOL COMPUTER FURNITURE DETAILS
INTRODUCING - The
LEARNING STATION™
Summerland
presents a patented product and facilitating system program which permits integration
of student use computers into classroom and home environments. Because The Learning
Station brand development is dependent upon both public and private sector support
and acceptance, particular attention has been given to our being able to anticipate
and accommodate requests and responses from educators, regulatory agencies and
public interest groups. Our strategic plan is to provide economically justified
computer workstation desks; designed to aid both school and home decision makers
with their need to responsibly acquire and manage education use computers, and
to be able to communicate solutions to their cost and use concerns.

The
Learning Station space and desk/enclosure layout design centers around optimizing
placement of the monitor display, its controlling keyboard and mouse.
- Critical considerations
are: Positioning of the display relative to desk top work surface; providing
mechanical protection of the monitor and CPU from damage; sizing and
arrangement of the work station desk top to allow adequate space for
regular desk use.
- During computing, student
performance is enhanced and fatigue reduced because monitor height and
view angle changes can readily be adjusted at regular intervals.

| Every citizen
of the US, and of the world, recognizes the vital impact of maximizing quality
of student training to national and individual student development. The
ability of schools to develop future leaders is based on every citizen having
complete confidence that responsible utilization of technology is a functional
part of education's' operational protocols. Each component of Summerland's
educational products, and systems for their use, must be structured to earn
and honor that trust. Our program accommodates a wide range of resource
use planning action alternatives. |
Governments, academia, private
corporations, communities and individual citizen groups have commenced initiatives
to improve quality of public education in the U.S.. In part, these initiatives
have grown out of public outrage over published studies showing for example: that
today's U.S. college graduates possess basic knowledge levels equivalent to high
school graduates in other countries; that 34% of 1998 U.S. high school graduates
would not be able to successfully pass GED requirements and, The Third International
Mathematics and Science Study results which defined severe US K-12 student learning
shortcomings in mathematics and science.
We examined student computer use
to determine habits, practices and attitudes of computer-using student, teachers
and administrators. We listened to parents, their children and educators.
We learned how critical school cost factors were - - and, discovered a
way to assist school personnel and faculty to rapidly implement an affordable
practical program.
US and international programs are in place to stimulate expanding use of
computers in schools and for students use at home. US Funding (federal)
to establish internet links to every school and (state and local)
programs for provision of in-class room computers facilitate
implementation of new computer teaching protocols. Summerland's approach
is to assist decision makers to reach workable decisions - - making
certain that computer use is programmed with broad consideration of economic
and educational options.

Analysis of student
use of computers, interviews and tests of a broad range of potential solutions
yielded data from which we developed initial designs. We prototyped, and tested,
taking into consideration what we had learned in development of The OFFICE™
monitor concealment and Lift and Roll™ units. The
result was ...
