Having lived in very rural areas in the past, I was delighted to see that our President is committing to technology investments. Not only will this enhance education, it will expand it. Sometimes it is hard to imagine being so far out of civilization that the Internet is the only connection. But our vast country has its very hard to reach areas and this project will enable kids and their families to have ready access to online education. Education the great equalizer...no matter where you live.
When discussing this with our Technology Director, Kathy Ferrell, she had this to say...
Colorado is working on a project called Eaglenet to bring greater bandwidth into the District and it should be here by 2013, but that will not service the community, just state agencies and specifically schools.
