Editor's Notes
There is an apparent gap between the amount of technology available in US classrooms and teacher's use of technology. Is this a new problem? The more things change, the more things stay the same. When did the revolution arrive? Even as schools continue to be stocked with computers, interactive whiteboards, and other technology tools, the technology integration required to make substantial shifts in education is often lacking.
