Appropriate and Distributed Networks: A Model for K‐12 Educational Telecommunications

Abstract

Against Internet, argues the case for a cheaper, lower cost, easier to use network (K‐12) for educational use. Stresses the need for teachers to be technically literate. Underlines the cost/benefits on networks. Relates the profound effect connecting to a network had on Bill Gates. Tabulates approximate connection costs for schools.
