Wi-Fi in Maricopa!
Posted by achayefsky on May 10, 2008
Did You Know? WiFi Hotspots are turning up in Maricopa? All you need is the Orbitelcom.com email address from your Orbitelcom.com account, to have free access. At this time – City Hall and Pacana Park are Hot! Take your laptop (with wireless connectivity) during meetings or when you just want some fresh air in the park, but also want (or need) to be connected … and – voila - you have access!
Imagine this – teachers take their own, or borrow/check out one of your campus laptops, conduct LOCAL field trips to Pacana Park or City Hall (students studying environment, recreation & health, civics perhaps, or engaging in citizenship) and immediately engage with the internet to research flora, fauna, pitching speeds, running stats, air quality issues, ecology, law making and city government … or other ‘field trip’ relevant topics of discussion. - Maybe someday the students will take ‘their’ own 
What a fabulous service finally coming to Maricopa. Thanks Orbitel!
Contact Orbitel to let them know we appreciate this service and that we hope they keep adding more Hot Spots!!!
Ubiquitous, Anytime, Anywhere computing is absolutely a critical marker of a 21st Century Community, devoted to 21st Century Literacies and Skills for students & residents!
See you in the Hot Spots! A
