RE: Technology in Education

Bob's comment..."Now that schools have good Internet connectivity, this argument no longer applies"  

This may be true of the schools you work with, but my experience has revealed a different picture - and not just in CA but across the nation.

Although I work primarily with elementary schools, high schools have the same issue with lack of resources including technology - lab equipment, computers, internet connection.

The Bee ran a series on inequities that exist in Sac schools, but this is a national problem.  there was a documentary on Ohio schools that underscored the disparity in resources among its schools - one had state of the art science labs while others were lucky to talk about science.
