IT is one of Suankularb Nonthaburi School's projects. At the beginning in 1975, with the support of PTA, the first technology by twelve eight-bit computers was initiated. Eighteen years later 16 Lan servers were constructed with the installation of software to control by Windows XP and Windows 2003 Server. Network cabling for the whole school was completed by the fiber optic from the control panel room by switching hub 1Gbit per second.

Then, in accordance with NECTEC in 1997 the school accessed Internet. At the moment, 400 computers are in use and Internt is accessible from JI-Internet and CS-Internet by two rented leased line of the speed 64 and 256 Kilobit a second.

One outstanding activity that we have been supported is IT access project with an aim to get students to gain multiple perspective know how with technology.

The projects are as follows:

Internet project
Home page project
Digital library project
Online-library project
Multimedia classroom
Online-classroom

From the activities mentioned, we all appreciate with the outcomes. Our students can have both authentic learning experiences and skills in the English language. However, it is significant that we have got to proceed further.

From the past till present, the world has been rotating on our own palm. Similarly, cooperation is without frontier. In running all activities, we should set up our dream and must reach what we want to see in the future. As one says, "The targeted future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dream. SKN school is one of them".
