WHIN provides broadband solutions to students
The Wabash Heartland Innovation Network (WHIN) has awarded $6 million to 28 school corporations in the ten-county WHIN region to provide broadband solutions for students who do not have adequate access to the internet for schoolwork. These funds are supporting better connectivity for students on-campus and off, enabling more interactive learning and teaching in and out of the classroom, and strengthening the region's talent pipeline for the digital world. North Central Health Services is a partner in the initiative.
Schools may use their allocations to provide plans to students that are compatible with their school-issued Chromebooks and iPads. In the short run, that can include personal hotspots. The funding is also available for teachers who do not have adequate access to prepare and conduct lessons from home. WHIN’s long term broadband strategy includes helping school corporations find more permanent, network-based solutions.
