Printing
Many classes will require that some assignments or tests be printed out. If you do not have a printer of your own, some access to a printer will be necessary, whether via friend/family or a commercial service such as Kinko's.
Dialup Internet Connections
Students and parents can successfully access Internet Academy courses and other content over a dialup Internet connection, but the experience will be sub-optimal. Internet Academy does not support dialup connections and strongly recommends DSL or cable Internet connections where feasible.
