AT&T and Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise have partnered to transform the school bus into a classroom on wheels in the US, reports Telecompaper.com, introducing a Connected Bus service that helps K-12 school districts deliver new learning experiences and other capabilities to students, teachers and bus drivers across their school transportation system.

Currently available nationwide, Connected Bus supports various technology-in-education initiatives in the US leveraging wireless technology, AT&T\'s LTE network and devices to increase students\' access to information, instruction and teachers.

Connected Bus offers new options for school districts to extend the school day from the time students board the school bus, until they arrive home. The service makes it easier to extend Internet connectivity on buses, offers real-time streaming video and broadcast speakers and allows remote monitoring of driver and student behavior to limit the potential for accidents and bullying.

An interactive demonstration will be shown at the ISTE Annual Conference in Atlanta, Georgia, taking place June 29 through July 1.
