Technology Lab Hits the Road!
December 14, 1998--A 65' X 12' highway trailer mounted on an eighteen-wheel
chassis carries a sophisticated instructional technology laboratory
for use by students in Alachua County, Florida. Designed, developed,
and constructed by county school system staff, the Mobile Instructional
Technology Laboratory is handicapped-accessible and climate-controlled.
The traveling lab boasts multi-media, interactive video, and individualized
computer-assisted instruction to prepare students for the 21st Century.
It's also a teacher training center that can be moved anywhere in
the district to train teachers in the use of this new technology.

Saving Electronic Payments Benefit Defense Contractors
The Defense
Contract Management Command (DFAS) is working aggressively to increase
the use of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), and is supporting
other Defense organizations in the use of other EDI invoicing methods
for public vouchers and commercial invoices. DFAS recently unveiled
the Web Invoicing System. WInS allows contractors to sign on to
a secure web page, enter the invoice data, and send it on its way.

You Have a PIN, Then You Can Get In
More than 8,000 Department of Agriculture employees--and almost
15,000 federal employees governmentwide--have obtained Personal
Identification Numbers (PINs) and can view data concerning their
own payroll, leave, travel voucher information, life insurance,
health insurance, U.S. Savings Bonds, Thrift Savings Plan, and related
information on the Employee Personal Page set up by the National
Finance Center. Employees can access it immediately 24 hours a day,
seven days a week.
