Virtually all U.S. schools are connected to the Internet, with about one
computer for every five students, according to the Department of
Education. At least 15 states provide some form of individualized online
instruction. But too many teachers still lack the skills needed to make
the most of new technologies. The Department's National Education
Technology Plan describes the state of ed tech and recommends
improvements -- including tapping students' own technological abilities
in classrooms.
