I don't think Internet has helped education of K-12 kids as much as it should. With all this information just a click away, they watch movies, videos or play games. Very few take advantage of it...NPR (opps Liberal Media) had a piece on how poorly we Americans did on troubleshooting and problem solving versus 18 other countries...Finland and Japan ranked highest. one interesting point....we are poor in math....No shit Sherlock.....really? Science Technology Engineering Math (STEM) should be our mantra....we have more lawyers then engineers....started way before the Interweb.....
