Technology (UW-IT) at the University of Washington designed
and operates the Washington K-20
Network to provide broadband service and
videoconferencing throughout Washington state.
The Washington K-20 Network has direct access to Internet2 Network. As one of the original nine states with access, Washington was a pioneer in developing and bringing the next generation of Internet materials, applications, and tools to K-12 schools and community colleges so that teachers and schools can:
- Develop and organize Web-based materials that enhance their classrooms
- Use computer-based learning tools to create multimedia content
- Point students to art, music, and animations provided by learning centers, national museums, and organizations such as NASA and the Smithsonian Institution
- Cost-effectively employ high-quality interactive and streamed video among teachers, across the state's classrooms, and to classrooms around the world
Bandwidth data is available for K-20 connected institutions.
