The Information Highway and the opportunities it provides teachers and children will radically change schools and education from what we experienced as children. While this may be very uncomfortable for many educators and parents, as change frequently makes us uncomfortable, the way we communicate and the skills that are important to our children's future have radically changed and we must prepare our children for the information society in which they live. When most of us grew up, the accumulation of factual knowledge was important, or at least emphasized. In the information society we live in today, however, the volume of information is staggering and no one can master it all. The skills our children need include the ability to ask the right questions, a facility in locating information and most importantly, the ability to evaluate and apply information they find. With the Information Highway, our children will have access to all the information they could ever want, so determining the quality and relevance of the information and how it applies to a problem or topic are the far more critical skills. Many of us, as parents and educators, will need to sharpen and expand our own abilities in these areas, as we help our children learn and develop. As one educational leader reminds us, "Parents must understand that what was good for them isn't necessarily good now. Things like spelling lists and Latin are no longer needed. In some cases, parents are holding back the teachers." As parents and community members, we must make sure that we work with our schools to provide the opportunities our children need for the society they live in, even if the unfamiliar is a bit uncomfortable.
