President Obama Wants Wi-Fi in Public Schools

{{Creating a learning environment for kids to excel and grow is what the school system lives by, so adding special features like Wi-Fi to public schools could enhance the whole learning process.}}

According to the Los Angeles Times, President Barack Obama plans to bring Wi-Fi to public schools with the help of companies like Apple, Microsoft, AT&T, and Verizon.

He’s also going to use governmental resources from the Federal Communications Commission, and private support for approximately $2.75 billion of funds and supplies.

This move to improve the education system in America is a step in the right direction. The Internet can be a powerful tool in learning, and access to Wi-Fi would allow for further research into ideas and concepts for students online, as well as aid them in doing their homework.

This is a part of an effort labeled ConnectED that was illustrated in the State of the Union address this year.
