| Most rural public schools are still under-funded for technology in the classroom and many are still writing grants to get up to speed. If I had a choice, as classroom teacher, I would use textbooks 20% of the time and Internet sources 80% to collect facts and data, to view interactive videos/tutorials and live webinars (from professionals or other like-kind networking schools around the world).
