It’s nice, according to Fourth District U.S. Rep. Tom Cole, to know that for once the federal government has spent nearly a half a million dollars “on something worthwhile.” That “something worthwhile” is right here in Southwest Oklahoma thanks to a partnership among Great Plains Technology Center, Cameron University and Western Oklahoma State College, and over a dozen rural schools. During a trip to Lawton last week, Cole visited Great Plains to experience a demonstration of the newly installed GPNet distance learning system. Kevin Chambers, the tech center’s director of information technology, initiated a conference call using a touchscreen panel on the wall, and within minutes the auditorium of the Worley Seminar Center was transformed into a digital classroom.
