Next, a number of examples of existing SchoolNets are provided and the features of successful SchoolNets are identified. Following this, the main factors to be considered when initiating and managing a SchoolNet are examined; with each factor explained using examples drawn from the UNESCO SchoolNet project and existing SchoolNets.
