Wired for what? Dividends of universal access

All over America, schools are scrambling for computers and Internet access. But have the huge expenditures really produced a tangible return on investment?

They address the proper use of computers, the integration of the Internet into lessons, and the urgent need for teacher training, long-term planning, and ongoing infrastructure funding.
