Eagle Demonstrates How Broadband Helps Students Soar

[Commentary] On April 30 Eagle Communications, in partnership with Schuyler Middle School and Discovery Education, the leading provider of digital content and professional development for K-12 classrooms, jointly presented a special community night to demonstrate how educators at Schuyler Middle School in Schuyler (NE) are using the power of broadband to create dynamic digital learning environments that engage area students and prepare them for success in college and careers.

The special evening featured a student project showcase, hands-on activities and interactive exploration stations demonstrating how digital content can support the success of today’s tech-savvy learners. Attendees also had the opportunity to learn about Eagle Communication’s commitment to the Eagle Connect 2 Compete (C2C) program. By offering Internet service at a reduced price to low-income families, Connect2Compete is closing the digital divide, helping communities across the country benefit from Internet connectivity. It’s an exciting time for this community and, here at Eagle Communications, we’re proud to support the work Discovery Education and Schuyler Middle School are doing to prepare students for college, careers and citizenship.
