- To encourage and help sustain partnerships among these education institutions, the private sector, and government.
- To enhance teaching and learning by facilitating projects that explore the ways in which advanced network applications, services, tools, and digital content can extend access to education and educational resources.
- To develop mechanisms for timely communication across all educational sectors and regions in order to enable quick, pervasive technology diffusion.
This portion of the workshop will provide an overview of the K20 Initiative, with demonstrations of exciting new educational applications of broadband network, and with an overview about how to engage in these innovative programs with national and international partners.
