Angela, since my mother was a school teacher, and I've been around education my entire life due to that fact -- you're right.

But, what's important in the lesson-plan is to incorporate both aspects of study and research -- part paper/book, part digital. I feel this is critical to learning.

In other words, it only requires a balance that's sustainable in the classroom. Not all children have access to computers or the Internet in every country -- especially the United States, despite some popular misconceptions.

We do still have a communications penetration rate here in this country that is absolutely astonishing in the big picture. Anyone who doesn't recognize this, I feel must be living on Planet Mars at this stage of the game. But that problem has far more to do with corporate priority toward their bottom-line and profitability than anything else. They could very well invest into the infrastructure they're building, but instead they seem more intent on simply maximizing profits for shareholders -- counter-intuative to what the entire country needs, especially the children and our education system.
