A website with detailed information, tutorials, and evaluation criteria for 85 learner-, community-, knowledge-, and assessment-centered digital tools for educators. This site was designed by students in my EDUC 592A (Online Tools for Learning & Instruction) course in fall 2016 and has continued to be updated each semester the course is run. The site has been visited by more than 120,000 people in 196 countries since its launch in 2016.

You can type your Zip Code into https://broadbandnow.com/Kentucky and it will give you the Broadband Speed, Wired Coverage and Providers for your district.  I included all Kentucky Districts because I thought you might want to do comparisons with your area and others.

• To articulate national broadband policies that provide opportunities for rural communities to participate fully in the nation's democracy, economy, culture, and society
• To spark national collaboration among rural broadband advocates.

The group is founded upon four principles:

1. Communication is a fundamental human right.
2. Rural America is diverse.
3. Local ownership and investment in community are priorities.
4. Network neutrality and open access are vital.

The Rural Broadband Policy Group petitions to the Federal Communications Commission, Congress, and individual state representatives against policies that place rural communities at a disadvantage. The group has historically advocated to protect net neutrality, rural landline service and access to 911, and more. The group also hosts public briefs, workshops, and summits and hearings to discuss rural communications issues.

The group also publishes Rural Broadband Tales, a digital campaign featuring a collection of stories from rural people about their experiences getting access to and using high-speed Internet.
