Kajeet offers online educational access. One of their products is a specialized mifi (mobile hotspot) that routes requests through a filtering service. In addition, an agreement with Sprint includes a reasonably priced data plan. The device seems a great product when paired with devices sent home with low income children.
I asked the vender whether their mifi qualified under e-rate. He said no, but that many schools use Title I money for purchases. The problem I see with many 1:1 initiatives is that low income students may lack high speed access when at home. Devices of this type may offer an option so that all students can continue their learning from any location.
