Watch Our Back-to-School with Broadband Webinar

By Brad

On Friday, August 10, we partnered with iNACOL to host a webinar on how broadband is transforming education in America.

One of the speakers was Kwame Simmons, principal of D.C.‘s Kramer Middle School, which is one of the city’s 40 lowest performing schools. During the webinar, Simmons shared the school’s plan to implement blended learning — a mix of online and traditional instruction — to engage students with interactive lessons and achieve a 40-point turnaround in test scores by 2017. David Teeter, director of policy at iNACOL, a non-profit organization that promotes collaboration, advocacy, and research to enhance quality K-12 online teaching and learning, addressed digital divide issues, including the importance of equality in access to broadband, and discuss how schools are now relying on broadband to facilitate teaching and learning.

It was a great conversation, and we thank Simmons and Teeter for participating. If you missed it, here’s an archived version of the webinar.

On Tuesday, IIA sponsored a webinar on the benefits of broadband in psychiatry. Titled “Telepsychiatry: Broadband’s Impact on Psychiatric Care for Children, Veterans and Underserved,” the conversation featured Alexander H. Vo, PhD and Vice President of Electronically Mediated Services at Colorado Access and our own Co-Chair Jamal Simmons.

It was an interesting and enlightening discussion. For coverage, see this article from Heidi Splete of Family Practice News. More coverage is available at the subscription-only Medscape.
