NORTH KANSAS CITY SCHOOL BUSES WI-FI READY

KC Star: “Stepping aboard a school bus will soon be the same as taking a seat in class for some students in the North Kansas City schools. In January, the district will begin wiring four school buses that are used for longer trips with Wi-Fi access. It’s believed to be the first such effort locally.” Each is designed as a 32 station network allowing students to work on long rides.

Continuing: “In addition, Waterman plans to provide access to the district’s Internet service (Verizon) to make sure traveling students can call up things like E-Campus Learning or preparation for ACT, SAT or Advanced Placement tests. Or they simply could use the time to do research for assignments.”

Last year Google announced the testing of Google Fiber in Kansas, offering internet connectivity at 1GB, and the school is employing it.

Who selects the bad sites from which the children are locked out? Didn’t we just start increasing the number of days in the school year? How much less time is needed for homework at night?
