Case Study: Storage Appliance Aids in High-Tech Learning at California High School
While the Snap Server is used schoolwide, Bryan found a number of uses for a smaller desktop Snap Server that is used by his multimedia students. Using Microsoft Word for writing the scripts, PowerPoint for creating graphics, iMovie 2 for video content editing and Internet Explorer for online research, Bryan's students create commercials, narratives and music videos. To create the video-based projects, students need constant access to clip art, graphics and sound bites. Prior to placing all of this content on the Snap Server, Bryan had to search for the files his students needed and then check out the corresponding CD. "Now with the files in one secure, central place, students never have to leave their desks," says Bryan. "There are also less interruptions during class time, which results in greater student productivity."
