An Introduction
to CS-CAN
The exponential growth of technology has caused
the computer and the Internet to become central
factors in the everyday work environment. The Catholic
Schools – Computers and Networks (CS-CAN)
project grew out of the knowledge that education
is becoming more dependent on computer technology.
However, Catholic schools have been falling behind
in providing access to computers for students. The
lack of computer resources at school is a bigger
problem for low-income families who do not have
the means to buy computers for their home. This
puts underprivileged students at a disadvantage
in pursuing higher education as well as in the job
market.
CS-CAN has undertaken a comprehensive initiative
to provide equipment to all our schools allowing
students and teachers to access libraries and
documents online, conduct classes over the Internet,
and link schools to programs throughout the world.
The goal is to install networked computers in
each of the 177 schools throughout the Archdiocese.
Additionally, the project will train both teachers
and students to apply technology to the learning
process. Click on the link to access the
