Abstract
It is true that technology, economics, demographics and international factors are pressuring the nation and our state to completely transform public schools' uses of instructional technology or risk a growing gap between educational "haves" and "have nots." In 1988-89, 54.4% of the 433 districts in Iowa had a student enrollment of 600 students or less. These 236 districts enroll 18% or 86,582 students of the 480,346 students in Iowa. Indeed, with open enrollment bearing down upon us, rural district educators, board members and parents have yet another reason to look at uses of technology and wonder if they are keeping up with the "Joneses."
