Abstract
The communication age, according to David Thornburg, is here (Betts, 1994). The prevailing evidence supporting Thornburg's assertion is the vast interest and growth of the Internet and the concurrent interest among K-12 educators in integrating this computer network into school life. Evidence of this keen interest can be found in the many Internet articles in the popular and professional literature, the rapid growth of commercial Internet vendors, and in communities developing and expanding community networks to provide citizens access to the Internet.
Schools, it seems, always get mentioned when the issue of Internet arises. America Online has numerous features for teachers and students and cable and phone companies tell us, via sophisticated ads, that the future is with them. And here in Iowa we have the Iowa Communications Network, a fiber-optic communication network that hopefully will allow K-12 schools greater Internet access.
