Innovative digital learning technologies and the growing importance of the Internet in connecting students, teachers and consumers to jobs, and life-long learning and information, are creating increasing demand for 21st Century Education and bandwidth in schools and libraries. To be prepared for college and the 21st Century workforce, students today need to have access to state-of- the-art, interactive, educational content; and tools for student collaboration, student-teacher communication, and lesson planning. Without adequate capacity our students are going to fall short. They will be unable to realize the full potential of digital learning. From Miami to the Arctic Circle, 21st Century online learning, technology, and tools create personalized lesson plans for both urban and rural students. (Federal Communications Commission FCC).
