As your sector representative indicated, the Southwest Missouri Council of Governments (SMCOG) is working with the Missouri MoBroadbandNow project, which is part of a five year initiative launched by Governor Nixon in 2009 to facilitate broadband expansion throughout Missouri.
MoBroadbandNow seeks to expand broadband accessibility and adoption in our area to empower schools to be able to quickly access correct, current educational data; put the data teachers need to help students succeed at their fingertips; share data with parents to promote home-school partnerships; provide high quality online learning solutions; share materials and data across school districts; make accessible online learning for teachers; and much more.
To be successful, the MoBroadbandNow project needs to have a fuller understanding of how K-12 education entities in our region would like to use broadband, and the barriers and challenges that you face in integrating it.
In order to do that, we are engaging in an effort to identify broadband needs at the local level. Specifically, in this survey, we want to find out the attitudes, opinions, needs and interests of stakeholders in K-12 education. The thoughts of this group will be shared with the Southwest Missouri Regional Technology Planning Team (RTPT) which is tasked with considering ways, and crafting a strategic plan, to create broadband opportunities and address the needs of our region.
