WASHINGTON (AP) — The effort to get high-speed broadband in every school is getting a boost from the philanthropy of two technology gurus — Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg and Microsoft Corp. co-founder Bill Gates.
Zuckerberg’s Startup: Education and Gates’ foundation have contributed a combined $9 million to the nonprofit EducationSuperHighway. The San Francisco-based nonprofit is working to improve connectivity in schools.
Nearly every school has Internet access, but for many that doesn’t include classrooms or the connections are super slow. That makes it difficult to videoconference scientists with students or to have digital learning programs on tablets such as iPads.
President Barack Obama’s goal is to have 99 percent of students connected to superfast Internet within five years. The Federal Communications Commission is weighing changes to a program to increase connectivity in schools.

We live in a curious, vast and fact-filled world. Obviously there is more information on the planet than is humanly possible to learn, but that hasn’t stopped some of us from trying to consume as much as we can.
These maps take visual learning to another level, by providing facts and displaying data about our world that might completely change the way you see it.
Plus it’s just really fun to see what you may or may not know about the world you live in. Go ahead, take a gander and expand your knowledge.
If anything, it makes for fun dinner-table conversation.
