November 4th, 2009 | Category: Uncategorized

Open educational resources, online learning, technology-enhanced assessments, better data to inform instruction, online professional teaching communities, and a whole host of promising initiatives rest on the assumption of adequate and fully accessible Internet connections. Getting education right in the National Broadband Plan, now under development by the FCC, is essential.

There are a whole host of smart, experienced persons working 24/7 to deliver the plan to Congress by the February 17, 2010 deadline. But, they need to hear from educators and experts in the field.

The Public Notice for comments on educational-related broadband needs, including input into changes to the E-rate program, is now open.
