This website outlines former President Obama’s 5-year effort called ConnectED, with the goal of providing high-speed broadband and wireless to 99 percent of students and improving the skills of teachers—providing every educator in America with support and training to integrate technology into classroom lessons.

Yet fewer than 40 percent of America’s schools have the broadband they need to teach using today’s technology.
