[OPLINLIST] AWE Learning Stations and Alternatives?

[Eric Lochtefeld]

*For the replacement of AWE- * https://www.abcmouse.com/libraries
We have our childrens computers locked down to only use ABCMouse.com
Library Edition. Our library's "fish table" is actually pictured on Age of
Learning's website-
http://www.ageoflearning.com/initiatives.html

*For Teen and Tween-* Any computer that has local admin privileges and is
frozen. That way they can install Steam and Roblox themselves. You may also

We actually host a Minecraft Server at - MC.MercerLibrary.org

Good luck!
