Description of Working Group:
The Internet School Networking Working Group is chartered to
facilitate the connection of the United States' K-12
(Kindergarten-12th Grade) schools, public and private, to the
Internet, and school networking in general.
It is critically important that national networking for K-12 education
proceed along established lines of protocol, using existing network
structures. The Working Group's first priority will be to establish
guidelines for specialized user interfaces. K-12 networking will also
require other support services, such as directories, online and
hotline help, specialized training programs and collaborative projects
with instructional and curriculum groups, disciplinary groups and
postsecondary institutions.
While the initial focus is school networking in the U.S., the Working
Group will coordinate its efforts with similar activities in other
countries and regions of the world.
