  4. Questions to address… • How are students, teachers, and administrators using high speed connectivity in K-12 schools today? • What are the key initiatives and applications that will drive increased bandwidth consumption in K-12 classrooms over the next 5 years? • How will we get there?

  5. Where are we today? • 60,151 K-12 Schools connected to Internet2 through the SEGP programs in 41 states using e-rate funds • Schools connected to I2 backbone by lower bandwidth state, district and schools networks • Students and educators access resources at the speed of the lowest bandwidth on their network • Access equity is an issue nationwide

  6. CoSN Initiatives Reflect Some Current Bandwidth Uses • Use of data to make decisions about students and strengthen classroom practices • Online Communities of Practices for educators

  7. Participatory Learning MacArthur funded initiative focused on the implications of digital media in the transformation of the learning environment in school districts iPods, iPads, tablets, netbooks, cellphones Web 2.0 Tools for classroom collaboration and online learning Skype, Moodle, Edmodo, Windows Live, Poll Anywhere, Prezi, etc. www.cosn.org/Web20

  8. Major current trends • 1 to 1 Laptop and mobile technology projects • Google Education Apps and Cloud Computing • Online, hybrid, and blended classes • Social media • Flipped classrooms

  9. Internet2 K-20 community projects • Virtual field trips to museums, libraries, science centers, zoos and other informal ed institutions • Library of Congress, Holocaust Museum • National Park Service – video backpacks • Manhattan School of Music • Local, national, international classroom to classroom videoconferences • Megaconference Jr. annually since 2003 • Remote instrumentation • Access to rich media libraries

  10. State Providers Activities • Virtual field trips from our state providers • Minnesota History Center, Minnesota Zoo • International Wolf Center • Live surgeries and autopsies • Interviews with veterans and Holocaust survivors • Chinese and other high demand or low incidence classes • Collaborative projects with remote classrooms • Special events between sister schools

  11. The current reality…. • Bandwidth needs are doubling every year in schools with 1:1 and Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) programs • E-rate funds not sufficient to meet the needs and provide equity across the country • $5.23 Billion requested, $2.7 Billion available – $2.79 Billion short fall • 21.5% increase in requests over last year • District and school funding is not increasing and cuts in all areas are necessary.

  12. Where are we heading? • What are the key initiatives and applications that will drive increased bandwidth consumption in K-12 classrooms over the next 5 years?

  13. Horizon Report New Media Consortium • 2011 (Time to Adoption) • One Year or Less • Cloud Computing • Mobiles • Two to Three Years • Game-Based Learning • Open Content • Four to Five Years • Learning Analytics • Personal Learning Environments

  14. Horizon Report 2012 Draft • Time-to-Adoption Horizon: One Year or Less • Mobiles and Apps • Tablet Computing • Time-to-Adoption Horizon: Two to Three Years • Game-Based Learning • Personal Learning Environments • Time-to-Adoption Horizon: Four to Five Years • Augmented Reality • Natural User Interfaces

  15. Bandwidth recommendationsFrom State Ed Tech Directors Internet Access • 100 Mbps for every 1000 students and staff by 2014 • 1Gbps for every 1000 students and staff by 2017 Wide Area Connectivity • 1 Gbps for every 1000 students and staff by 2014 • 10 Gbps for every 1000 students and staff by 2017

  16. Moving forward…. • Federal mandates: • Digital classroom resources – replacing textbooks by 2015 • Online assessments requiring more bandwidth by 2014 • 4 C’s for 21st Century learning environments resources • Critical thinking, creativity, communication and collaboration • Relevant, real world learning experiences for students • Access to sophisticated scientific instruments and projects in real time for STEM • Access to rich media resources including video repositories • Gaming and game-based assessments • Personal learning – accessing resources anytime, anywhere

  17. From the Chariman… • Today, I want to challenge everyone in the space – companies, government officials, schools and teachers – to do their part to make sure that every student in America has a digital textbook in the next five years.” FCC Chairman Genachowski (2/1/12)

  18. How will we get there? • Increased bandwidth to the classroom and access from homes (doubling every year) • E-rate support for infrastructure increasing with bandwidth demand • Collaborative efforts with higher ed and other partners • Professional development for staff in making the leap to digital environments • It won’t happen unless – WE LEAD THE WAY!
