  8. Use of MY ServerNo.1 • Educational tool to teach students server-side data processing Both the data-sharing server of a school and each student’s localhost machine can have the same “MY Server” program.

  9. Check for data-consistency on the own PC • Students can make questionnaires / testing sheets and check for data consistency / access control on their own PCs. • They send their data to the common server after checking data. • This enables “MY Server” to be a educational tool for server-side data processing / e-teaching.

  25. download • The teacher sometimes checks the students’ learning process. • He/She downloads the result Excel files from the public MY Server to his/her own MY Server.

  26. Remote Desktop • Windows XP (or Windows 2000 Server) has a remote access program: “Remote Desktop”
