Is there anything you’re doing that involves:

K 2 0I N I T I A T I V E

• Each RON needs to determine for themselves where K-20 T&L falls as a priority. . . Actions over Words and must commit long-term

• Designate a K-20 Project/Program Leader

• Provide resources: financial, human and technical

• Network! -- Reach out to other NRENs and RONs to discuss:– Potential– Possibilities– Identify and target “turn-key” connectors– Provide a Case Study of Successes– Develop a K-20 Contact List

What RONs can do to Promote R&E Networks and T&L Support in K-20 Classrooms

K 2 0I N I T I A T I V E

• Emphasize the “E” in R&E Networks

• Encourage use of your network by K-20 schools and by non-profit connectors in your service area.

• Educate K-20 teachers and support staff, and content providers on how to use R&E and CIS networks

• Enable worldwide partnerships and global collaborations between K-20 schools, between K-20 schools and content providers.

• Inventory and Identify what on-campus content you will make available to other R&E Connectors.

K 2 0I N I T I A T I V E

• Inventory and Identify what on-campus content you will make available to other R&E Connectors. – Realize that content can be a source of revenue

• Remote instrumentation and Data Visualization• Colloquiums, Symposiums, Celebrity Speakers, Alumni Events, Concerts,

Sporting Events and other broadcasts over R&E Networks• Museum/Gallery Guided Tours• Professional Continuing Education Distance Education Offerings• Video and Imaging collections

– Develop a Business Plan to market and price your content

What RONs can do to Promote R&E Networks and T&L Support in K-20 Classrooms

K 2 0I N I T I A T I V E

• RONs should publish on their web site:– the contact information for their K-20 T&L Coordinator.– a list of K-20 T&L connectors/schools with a link to the NREN’s/RON’s K-

20 T&L Coordinator for information.– a list of connected K-20 content providers with contact information.

• Facilitate “People Networking” among all your connectors.

• Promote an K-20 T&L SIG

• Work with content providers to promote connectivity through R&E Networks and Internet2.

What RONs can do to Promote R&E Networks and T&L Support in K-20 Classrooms

K 2 0I N I T I A T I V E

• Reach out and LISTEN to the right people on campus:– CIO or IT staff – Administrators – Academics

• Do your homework: find the “lowest hanging fruit” and leverage it

• Host an on-campus demonstration focused on disciplines as broad as STEM and Humanities or as narrow as Astronomy and Music

• Stay engaged: Post-discussion follow up is critical. Become a coordinator, facilitator, whatever it takes to keep the momentum. Once you get their interest don’t let it wane

• Don’t be afraid to suggest topics or take initiative and be sure to propose the next meeting

• Keep in mind that faculty are busy people with little time for experimentation. . .– Especially when using R&E Networks since they can only access these networks on campus– Need point and click access– Need information delivered directly to them (Twitter, Facebook, ISTE)

• Initially, keep it simple and short (KISS). Start with Video conferencing
