Bill I think you are accurate in saying that we have only scratched the surface. If we look
at the work of Farance, Bork, Brusilovsky and others we can see that there is much being
done...but more to do about the design and delivery of instruction and the facilitation of
learning with effectively integrated computer related technology. Even though studies
(Wenglinsky, 1999) mention the rapid accumulation of technology in schools I do not see a
critical mass having access to computers and bandwidth, or to appropriate teacher training for
that matter.
