in the report - One of the reasons for
the success of educational technology is the Education-Rate or E-Rate
(or, more precisely, the Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support Mechanism),
which has helped bring powerful technologies to our nation's students, especially
those from low-income and minority backgrounds. The E-Rate discounts are helping
the schools that need it most.
- The E-Rate
and educational technology can open up tremendous opportunities for students-but
only if teachers are trained to use it effectively. We are releasing a second
study today, from the National Center for Education Statistics, that examines
teaching and technology. The report, Teachers'
Tools for the 21st Century: A Report on Teachers' Use of Technology, finds
that 99 percent of teachers have access to computers or the Internet somewhere
in their schools.
