Name:
The Peddie School
Brief Description of the Site:
Located in Hightstown, NJ, this co-educational boarding school serves students in grades 8-12. The site was originally created by a student and is now maintained by both students and staff members. While its primary function is to attract applicants to the school through program descriptions and an electronic on campus tour, there are also areas that offer multimedia presentations of important events, up-to-date school news, and examples of student and staff work in both academic and cultural arts.
How to use the site:
Prospective students and their parents will come away from this site with a good sense of what the school is about and the kinds of experiences students can expect to have while attending Peddie. The culture and philosophy of the school is clearly expressed throughout the site. Educators will be interested in the site's use of multimedia to share important events including student speeches, choral presentations, and even graduation. The site also offers an extensive description of the school's laptop program: a good resource for schools currently planning their own mobile computing projects.
