Abstract
Based on the following understandings, this is the vision I see as I gaze into Iowa's "Rural Education" crystal ball. First, the implementation of today's technological advances within Iowa's educational institutions in no way assures improved educational results. Second, the implications of today's technology for rural education are limitless; they are restricted only by our designated state and community leaders' narrownesses of perspective and petty jealousies. Third, there needs to be a realization from within the State that, from a national perspective, all of lowa's educational institutions are "rural" in nature. Fourth, since the people of this state see value in these educational institutions being of all sizes and shapes, these institutions will remain dependent upon one another for their continued success. Until such basic understandings are accepted it appears that the major focus in regard to using technology will be to preserve an educational delivery model rather than to improve educational outcomes for all concerned.
