Schools are now able to pull parents more effectively into the education process.
For example, educators in the Kent School District are already using an Intranet application that automatically sends individualized information to parents via e-mail. Teachers have gained access to interactive learning programs and, with e-mail and Internet access, are able to collaborate with educators across the globe to develop new curricula. Students will soon have improved access to distance learning and online research materials. In addition to providing access to the Internet and Intranet resources, the network helps the state allocate educational resources more efficiently. The K-20 Network facilitates distance learning, thus enabling the state to provide schools in rural areas with access to a wider variety of classes.
