Jesse Fiddler, K-Net Multi-Media Manager, has accepted an invitation from the Institute for Connectivity in the Americas (ICA) to attend the World Summit on the Information Society gathering in Geneva the week of December 8.

From their web site, "the Institute for Connectivity in the Americas (ICA) emerged from the 2001 Summit of the Americas. It is the forum for hemispheric innovation in the application of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to strengthen democracy, create prosperity, and realize human potential.... The ICA is currently being incubated at Industry Canada's International Development Research Centre (IDRC) in Ottawa and Montevideo."

K-Net staff are working with our network partners to determine if we can connect into the WSIS gathering over the Kuh-ke-nah Network. The Chiefs of Keewaytinook Okimakanak are meeting in Winnipeg the week of December 8 and are inviting other First Nation leaders to a "Smart Fair" on December 10 where we are planning to schedule a video connection with the Canadian Pavilion in Geneva to showcase First Nation innovation in the use of ICTs to the world.

In the words of UN Secretary-General, Kofi Annan, in 2003, the World Summit on the Information Society offers

• a unique opportunity to shape the future of the information society’ so that all people can enjoy its benefits ; and
• a platform for developing a shared vision of ways to create a truly inclusive information society that serves and empowers all people.

The Keewaytinook Internet High School Steering Committee met at the Best Western in Dryden, to discuss the success of the program and to plan for the present year. The KiHS Steering Committee is made up of a member from each the 13 KiHS partner communities. The steering committee makes decisions that deal with policy and programming for the program and brings a better community perspective to the planning process.

The meetings on Wednesday and Thursday were very productive. It was commented many times that the program is providing some great opportunities to the students in the partner communities. Many students are now able to remain at home for longer periods of time before having to leave the community to earn high school credits.

Some of the issues that were discussed at the meeting were:

1. Student attendance
2. Ways to get parents involved more with the community classrooms
3. Local promotion of the program
4. Achievement levels
5. Ways to motivate the students
6. Program changes
7. Staffing
8. Funding

There were many other topics discussed and plans are made to include several of the suggestions over the course of the year. Overall it was a great two days of meetings and the steering committee left with many ideas to bring back to the community, parents, and students.

KiHS is becoming a very important part of our partner communities, and being able to stay at home and earn the same caliber of credits that students could get in any school in Ontario, is a factor which is motivating much interest.

If you are a student in one of the KiHS partner communities and are looking to earn high school credits, talk to the KiHS teacher, or contact the office at 807 735 1381. We are always willing to accept new students.

Over the past few weeks, Adi Linden and Dan Pellerin worked together with other members of the K-Net technical team to install and implement the DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting) feature on the K-Net Satellite Network Management System (NMS). The DVB is the return transport path for the data traffic going to each of the satellite served First Nations.

Local technicians are completing the installations using the directions Adi developed using the photo gallery located in the Network web site. Lyle Johnson did the first DVB conversion in his home community of Weagamow working with Adi. Then Madeleine Stoney completed the installation of the DVB unit in Fort Severn. Angus Miles made the trip over to Sachigo. Yesterday, Jamie Ray was in Webequie successfully getting that site up after travelling from Fort Hope where he got that site up. Bob Popovic travelled to Kasabonika. Ernie Buswa travelled to Cat Lake to complete the installation. Slate Falls will be the last site transferred over to DVB possibly by the end of this week. WHAT A TEAM effort ... Congratulations to everyone and GREAT work!!
