It might not have been on your student’s official back-to-school supply list, but broadband today is an educational necessity both in and out of the classroom. Now that Texas kids are back in school, arming them with the latest technology, devices and access to high-speed broadband is part of the cable industry’s commitment to furthering education.
Cable companies work with schools to expand internet connectivity, make going online more affordable, promote distance learning, and facilitate students’ increasing use of tablets and digital devices both at home and school. Connecting kids to the information superhighway is critical for their educational development and to prepare them for an increasingly technical and competitive U.S. economy.
