Internet2 and Benefits to State Networks Oklahoma Supercomputer Symposium October 3, 2007 Norman, OK
Internet2 K20 Initiative The National Internet2 K20 Initiative brings together Internet2 member institutions and innovators from primary and secondary schools, colleges and universities, libraries, and museums to extend new technologies, applications, middleware, and content to all educational sectors, as quickly and connectedly as possible.
K20 Advisory Council 4/22/07 • Explore opportunities for broadening participation beyond the bi-annual Member Meeting K20 f2f meeting. • A web survey was conducted to help define what people wanted - 77% in favor of a regional K20 day. • How will it be funded? How will it be organized? Where should it be hosted? • Important for it to be face to face so folks can actually interact together. • COSN and NECC - only k-12. We should choose a venue that is K-20, not just a k-12 event. • I2 demos are the most demanded part of any program - VC, remote instruments, etc. • Which of the demo clips are useful? What is most used? Where are there gaps?
