Useful Quotations:
I have a number of favorite quotes related to the use of computers and the Internet in education that I have used in talks and presentations:
    "The Internet is revolutionary, but not Utopian. "
    "For every empowering or enlightening aspect of the wired life,there will also be dimensions that are  malicious, perverse, or rather ordinary.
    "Information is not knowledge."
    "Wiring the schools will not save them." Technorealism
    "The use of the Internet by our children in school is only as good as the guide, or teacher in the classroom." Netbabies
Factoid #1. There are approx.10 million kids on-line under the age of 18. Almost half of these children access the
Internet at school and this will only increase as many more schools hook up during the big push of 1998 and early
1999. (Multimedia Schools, Jan/Feb, 1998, pg. 14) http://www.aea2.k12.ia.us/Tutorials/NetBabies/Net_Babies.html
