Each of the academic courses and career program areas offered at Camden County Technical Schools relies heavily on the district's extensive computer network. The district has over 1,400 networked computers available for student use.

These computers are distributed and connected throughout the district's classrooms, career programs, and libraries. The network provides each computer with access to the Internet. Our technology team provides all career programs with specific, cutting-edge software to meet their needs. Upon graduation, students have the computer skills to take into the job market.

Each student at CCTS has his/her own personal password to log onto the network. In addition to giving them access to the Internet, it also gives them hard drive space to store their files. Students and staff members may access their files from any computer in the district.

The district has two libraries, one on each campus. Each provides print and non-print media for student research, study, and recreational reading. Computers are available in both libraries so that students can do online research using the Internet as well as work on projects for their academic and career programs. Each library includes computer lab areas where teachers work with students on class projects.

District library holdings include more than 30,000 books and 225 periodical subscriptions as well as a large variety of other audio-visual materials. Additionally, Internet based research databases, including ERIC, SIRS Researcher, EBSCO, Galenet, and others are provided and can be accessed from any of the district's computers.

The libraries share resources with each other through an interlibrary loan process. The CCTS library catalog is online so that students can search for materials from any district computer. Fully certified personnel are available in each library to help students develop library skills and locate information.

Distance learning is also used at CCTS. Through video teleconferencing teachers are able to take students on virtual field trips anywhere in the world. Students have visited such places as the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas and the Indianapolis Museum of Art in Indianapolis, Indiana without ever leaving their classrooms.

Already under construction is a video distribution system that will provide each classroom and office access to cable TV, digitized stored video, and eventually video teleconferencing.

CCTS was ranked as one of the 100 most wired high schools in the nation by Family PC Magazine. CCTS has made the commitment to continue the use of technology to provide the best possible training for its students. In an ever-changing world, the most knowledgeable students have the best chance of success.
