Technology, in general, and the Information Highway, more specifically, dramatically change the role of teachers. Rather than the deliverers of information and assessors of students' reservoirs of stored factual information, teachers become the facilitators of learning--the coach that guides students to discover new areas, to ask probing questions, to question information found, to develop new theories and to search for information that supports and refutes these theories. Teachers cannot be merely tour guides showing students all there is to see along the Information Highway. They must help students learn to narrow their search for information and evaluate the information they find, while still providing students with the opportunity to explore and discover new areas of learning along the way. This is perhaps the hardest kind of teaching.

To achieve this level of teaching, we must provide a tremendous amount of support for our teachers, as they learn to use the tools and incorporate them into their teaching strategies. Our teachers are not different from us--they did not grow up with technology or access to the Information Highway-- and we need to remember they need to learn these tools, too. Educators must possess the ability themselves to navigate carefully through the almost infinite amount of information and must have time to develop new teaching strategies that incorporate technology and Information Highway tools. We need leadership from administrators, parents and the community who make access to technology and the Information Highway priorities, secure and allocate the funds needed for equipment, and provide the needed time for teachers to learn and share their methods. While this clearly requires a significant amount of funding, the cost of failing to educate our children with the tools of their day is far greater.
