Every member of the Edison national system is electronically connected via The Common, Edisonís intranet message, conferencing, and information system. Connecting to The Common allows members to communicate with one another and also to tap into the vast electronic resources that Edison makes available. These include a digital library of periodicals; ìlearning linksî that connect students to selected (and carefully previewed) sites on the World Wide Web; and discussion and support groups especially for students, parents, and teachers. The Common also hosts areas unique to each individual school in our system. How else does Edison involve parents in the school?
