The public represents
the most influential democratizing force in human history, allowing students to
increase their access to learning and opportunities to participate in new economic
developments. If schools do not teach students how to utilize the Internet for
research and inquiry, who will teach them these skills? It is up to teachers to
develop new curriculum units that build these technologies into their students'
learning. In so doing, teachers can model what it means to be learners, and at
the same time become better teachers for a changing world. (
