Building Consensus/Building Models for K-12 Networking Assistance

该项目的目标是通过建立共识的过程，为学校网络的教育工作者和实施者提供技术和概念援助，制定一个或多个模式。这些模型将被技术规划者和管理者在许多不同的环境中使用，以告知他们关于在学校中使用计算机中介传播的决定。为了建立可信和有效的模型，参与者将研究有关学校网络能够和不能完成的基本假设，以及如何最好地向全国广大受众提供服务。来自广泛的联邦，专业，州和地方教育社区的利益相关者将加深他们对学校网络问题和选择的理解。

The goal of this project is to develop through a consensus-building process, one or more models for technical and conceptual assistance to educators and implementers of school networks. These models will be used by technology planners and managers in many different settings to inform their decisions about the use of computer- mediated communication in schools. To build credible and effective models, participants in the process will examine underlying assumptions about what school networks can and can't accomplish, and how services can best be delivered to a broad national audience. Stakeholders from a broad range of federal, professional, state and local educational communities will deepen their understanding of issues and choices surrounding school networking.
