This information is provided by the NetworkMaine website:
With the closure of public schools and the subsequent transition to remote learning, many schools have identified a lack of adequate Internet access in the homes of some of their students, limiting the ability of those students to participate in online learning opportunities.
Networkmaine has offered assistance to the roughly 140 local schools that have their WiFi networks provided through the Maine Learning Technology Initiative in creating an additional “guest” WiFi network. This additional WiFi network will be completely segregated from any existing network(s) at the school.
We have dubbed this effort Study-From-Car as a play on the phrase work-from-home that has become so prevalent in the media.
We encourage participating schools to use the hashtag #studyfromcar if they make any announcements on social media.
If your school is doing something similar and would like to have it added to this map please drop an email to us at: NOC@maine.edu or fill out the form below.
In response to the overwhelmingly positive feedback we have received, we are now including any member that has a guest WiFi service and wants to be included on our Study-From-Car map.
Bridgton Public Library has registered as a Study-From-Car hotspot, please use our parking lot to help your kids complete their online school work, and please let anyone who may not have home Internet know about this service we can provide.
Stay safe and well.
