Abstract:
NetDay is a strategy to connect schools and classrooms to the Internet. It combines community voluntarism, corporate philanthropy and existing school leadership to reduce the costs of computer networking. NetDay was begun in Califnornia in 1995 with the support of the Clinton-Gore adminstration. By November 1996, over forty states had tried NetDay.
Now the NetDay strategy has been employed in Ireland, France, South Africa, China and Australia as well as other countries. This paper will explore how the basic NetDay approach was altered to suit local contexts. In particular I will explore Australian and the American case studies.
