Marshall County Schools

Digital Learning Centers

The ultimate teaching and learning classroom can be found throughout Marshall County Schools. We had the need and the desire to afford our teachers and students with a rich interactive environment with every possible technology resource to impact teaching and learning. Our Digital Learning Centers are configured to give instructors and students the latest in presentation and interactive technologies, the true 21st Century Classroom environment. Marshall County, not only the first in the state to design this learning rich environment, but also the first to aggressively pursue its installation, now has 72 complete DLCs with a total of 92 being planned by the end of this school year. The Marshall County Board of Education is equipped with 4 complete DLC installations available for professional development. Visiting presenters are requested to view the presenter requirements by clicking HERE.

Each DLC installation and configuration consists of:

High-end teacher PC with networked printer
T-1 Internet Speed
Ceiling mounted data projection
AverVision Document Camera
Wireless 77 inch Numonics Interactive Whiteboard
Surround Sound System with 5 speakers/sub-woofer, DVD, VCR, and TV Cable where available
AB Tutor student PC monitoring (in labs)
Concealed cabling for a totally clean installation

All DLCs are installed by a crew of qualified county maintenance craftsmen who are skilled electricians and carpenters as well as being qualified to install networks and ethernet cabling. Each teacher/classroom that receives a DLC must undergo staff development provided by the county director of instructional technology programs. Our DLCs are found in every part of the curriculum in the county from Pre-K to Vocational and Special Education.
