- 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.
