[1st-mile-nm] More on NM Schools Networking

[Richard Lowenberg]

A brief response today from the NM PED:
"The 55kbs per second per student is the minimum threshold for online testing.  
100 kbs per sec per student is recommended for digital learning." 

See the SETDA (State Ed. Tech. Directors Assoc.) Broadband Imperative report at:

(The challenge is for how to get from yesterday's minimum standards, to our schools' and communities' requirements for today and tomorrow.  RL)

Washington, DC (March 3, 2014) – As part of its Smart Education Networks by Design (SEND) initiative, the Consortium for School Networking (CoSN) today released the first phase of comprehensive guidelines to support K-12 chief technology officers (CTOs) in building, strengthening, and maintaining durable education networks. These networks support technology-rich 24/7 learning. The initiative provides guidance to district leaders on the current and future digital K-12 landscape and identifies best practices and solutions to design, implement, and manage networks to support district strategic plans and processes.
