Record low water levels have brought to the forefront issues with endangered species, public water access, recreation, archeological sites, and water supply access. A partnership between three state agencies and the Corps of Engineers allowed for the development of high resolution aerial photography and the creation of digital elevation models. These products are being used by the participating entities in analyzing a multitude of physical characteristics. K-12 GIS Education Initiative: DECA, BIT, South Dakota State University, South Dakota schools and ESRI, Inc. partnered to provide applied geography data collection and analysis skills to all K-12 schools in the state. DECA purchased a state site license for ArcView GIS software (the state's GIS standard) that allows the state to provide the software to any school district who completes training and requests the software. BIT also provides a set of base data specifically designed for each school district. Students are instructed in how to acquire field data using global positioning system (GPS) technology. The ultimate goal of the project will be an environment in which state government works with schools to provide "tools and tasks" that can be used in meeting state education standards while state agencies receive accurate location information for needed state data sets.

Help! South Dakota Licenses Atomic Learning for All K-12 Schools Statewide LITTLE FALLS MN, April 6, 2005, The South Dakota Department of Education recently awarded Atomic Learning a 14-month contract to help improve technology integration through online training in all K-12 public schools in the state. This statewide agreement provides South Dakota teachers, students and parents with 24 x 365 access to Atomic Learning's www.atomicLearning.com award winning web-based software training and tutorials. The training is delivered via short (one to three minute), easy-to-understand movies that provide personal, on-demand answers to those 'How do I do that?' questions. South Dakota has also licensed Atomic Learning's Tutorial Publishing System which allows education personnel to create custom tutorials on state and/or district specific training needs. "South Dakota ranks in the top 10 in the nation for academic achievement, in large part because of the progressiveness of their Department of Education." said Chuck Amos, Atomic Learning's CEO. "I believe their selection of Atomic Learning to help in technology integration and learning reflects this progressiveness." With 172 public school districts, 123,000 students, and approximately 9,000 teachers spread across 77,000 square miles, the South Dakota Department of Education wanted to implement a standardized technology training system statewide. After a careful review of options, South Dakota determined contracting with Atomic Learning gave them the best combination of selection, cost effectiveness and ease of use.

Press Release Department of Education 700 GOVERNORS DRIVE PIERRE, SOUTH DAKOTA 57501-2291 (605) 773-3134 / FAX (605) 773-6139 For immediate release – Wednesday, April 10, 2002 For more information: Nicole Kranzler, 773-3426 Parents, students, teachers to benefit from new student information system (Pierre)— South Dakota is launching a new service for K-12 schools that will let parents check their children’s grades and attendance and let the general public see how their public schools are performing by using the Internet. The system, "DDN Campus," will be installed in the first five school districts this spring, with more schools gradually added every few months. Plans call for completion statewide within two years via the state’s Digital Dakota Network (DDN). School systems will use DDN Campus, among other things, to create student schedules, maintain staff records, record attendance and more easily transmit required data between schools. Five South Dakota school districts will begin piloting the system this month. The pilot sites are Burke, Chamberlain, Chester Area, Spearfish, and Watertown school districts. Beginning July 1, another 20 school districts will come online with DDN Campus, with 20 more being added each quarter through July 2004. South Dakota’s technology infrastructure, with all schools wired and linked together using high-speed connections, makes the rollout of a product like DDN Campus possible. "This type of statewide system is possible because of Governor Janklow’s vision for a high quality telecommunications network connecting all our schools," Christensen said.

Unfortunately there has been nothing but trouble with this Lpage (basically the guy has turned it into a commercial service and to make sure he gets paid, the freebie one quits working all the time). Here's what you can TRY to get Indian keypals (most Indian schools so far do not have emailboxes for the kids). Access the various school webpages here, and email the computer teacher, whose name is (usually) on it for Webmaster. Ask if they are interested in keypals with your students, and how it should be arranged.
