Learning Through Broadband
With broadband, no longer should any American's opportunities be limited by geography. Rural schoolchildren can take advanced placement courses hundreds of miles away. Working parents can pursue a degree after putting the kids to bed—from the convenience of home. With the cost of a college education rising rapidly, broadband offers convenient affordable alternatives to diverse Americans seeking to advance their opportunities through education. 85% of kids say they use the Internet to help them do better in school. 95% of newly created jobs demand computer skills.
Latest VideoConnected Tennessee: One Community at a TimeConnected Nation’s Tennessee program recently donated 20 brand new Dell computers to the Saint John Baptist Church After-School Program in Haywood County, a program that is serving as a hub of connectivity to a community with limited access to broadband technology. Currently, the program has 31 kids signed up to participate, but hopes to eventually be able to open its’ doors to at least 200 – 300 children. The program also plans to ultimately welcome the entire community to come and use the computers at designated hours throughout the week. A great story in connectivity and broadband empowerment.
