Abstract

The Education Network of Ontario (ENO) is an access and applications network for and by Ontario's 130,000-member education community. Educators registered with ENO receive full industry-standard, home and school Internet and Intranet services in English and French. Statistics such as 100000 teacher members, 25000000 minutes a month of online time, and over 100000 mail or news messages per day are commonplace. Teachers lead projects that deal with content creation, classroom projects and technology exploration. Results are as varied as a database of parent letters, solutions to keep small children exercised and content in ultra-cold winter months, and investigation of video and voice technologies as well as pedagogical practices to support professional development. ENO has a classroom project model that is firmly based in curriculum created so that the students and teachers use access to the Internet to enhance learning of subject matter and processes, and not the technology itself.
