K-12 High Speed Network

e K12HSN program is access to a physical network that leverages the technological infrastructure of the California Research and Education Network (CalREN), an advanced, high-capacity network that serves the vast majority of research and education institutions across California. CalREN was built and continues to be managed by the Corporation for Education Network Initiatives in California (CENIC), a public-benefit corporation. Secondarily, since the infrastructure exists, the program promotes its use to provide the K-12 community with useful digital tools and resources. Program resources offered via the CalREN network support teaching and learning (e.g., My Digital Chalkboard, mydigitalchalkboard.org), instruction, collaboration and professional development, (k20video.org) help-desk support (MyTechDesk, www.mytechdesk.org ), and a database that reports connectivity speeds for schools in California (Datalink, datalink.k12hsn.org).
