Ok so project map our county is in affect. We set up a online survey & we are discussing with the school systems on allowing students to tell us about their Internet availability.
Their will be a simple do you have Internet , can you watch you tube or Netflix for elementary students, a more comprehensive for middle and high school. Their is also one for non students and collage.
By mapping our county's network infrastructure we can get a better understanding on how to resolve this digital divide. So please like for your support and the more in numbers we are the more they will hear us.
