SchoolNet
Canada's SchoolNet was a partnership run by Industry Canada to promote the effective use of information and communications technologies (ICT) in libraries and schools across the country.[1] Many important early Canadian ICT programs fell under the SchoolNet umbrella, including Computers for Schools, LibraryNet, First Nations SchoolNet, and Canada's Digital Collections.[2]
Notable early project included the SchoolNet MOO and the Special Needs Education (SNE) [1] network. The MOO was abandoned by Industry Canada in 1998, but a non-profit corporation was set up to continue running the MOO under the name MOO Canada Eh!.[2] The SNE was initially managed initially by Keenan Wellar at Ingenia Communications Corporation until 1997 when the project moved with Wellar to LiveWorkPlay until it was discontinued by Industry Canada.[3]
The SchoolNet project was active from 1995 to the early 2000's, and the site was taken offline on June 20, 2007.[1]
