Abstract
The article reports that the network provides broadband Internet access to the state's 520 public schools, as well as videoconferencing, to allow rural schools to offer a wider array of courses online. To help support schools in using technology, the state has budgeted some 1.3 million dollar this fiscal year for professional development for teachers and other technical support. The state continues to encourage the expansion of video-based classrooms--in which courses are broadcast from one location to several neighboring schools through a video feed--through grants to school districts, particularly those in remote parts of the state.
