Internet2 Marks Five Year Anniversary of its Sponsored Education Group Participant Program
SEGP program grows to 36 U.S. State Education Networks; Internet2 commits to continued support of valuable program.
https://mail.internet2.edu/wws/arc/i2-news/2006-08/msg00002.html
This summer, Internet2 is pleased to mark the five year anniversary of its Sponsored Education Group Participant (SEGP) program which has successfully promoted the use of advanced networks among the K-20 community by providing state education networks access to the nationwide Internet2 network. The SEGP program was initiated in 2001 based on the feedback and support of several Internet2 members, The Quilt, the Internet2 Network Planning and Policy Advisory Council and the broad Internet2 community. To date, 36 state networks have been able to participate in the program through generous sponsorships by Internet2 university members. The Internet2 SEGP program has grown to connect more than 46,000 U.S. K-12 schools, community colleges, libraries, performing arts centers and museums to the Internet2 network. Through this program, the K20 community has been responsible for creating virtual classrooms and laboratories that are revolutionizing the way young students learn--regardless of their physical location. Today, students have access to world-class learning experiences such as taking master music classes taught by world-renowned musicians using DVD-quality videoconferencing or performing science experiments with advanced electron microscopes using remote imaging instruments or observing profound environmental events in real-time. The new Internet2 Network, scheduled for deployment in 2007, promises to provide the K-20 community even greater capabilities and will serve as an enhanced development platform for innovations yet to be imagined by this important segment of the Internet2 community.
