Internet: Technical/Ethical

  • To help New York State K-12 school and library administrators understand and take advantage of a wide range of technology initiatives, NYSERNet - the organization that built the Internet in New York State - has developed a Web site called TIPS (Technology Information & Planning Site). TIPS will offer timely information on state and federal technology programs and plans. Initially focusing on the Universal Service Fund, NYSERNet's TIPS Web site will first provide educators and librarians with information that allows them to determine if their institutions are eligible to receive discounts and other grants as well as which services may be applicable.
