Schools gaining Web access.(Research Notes)
In 2003, nearly all public schools in the U.S. had access to the Internet, compared with 35% in 1994, according to the National Center for Education Statistics.
Public schools have also made steady progress in expanding Web access in classrooms. A vast majority of classrooms in 2003 (93%) had Internet access, representing tremendous growth from the mere 3% of classrooms that had Web access in 1994.
In 1996, dial-up Internet connections were used by three fourths (74%) of schools with Internet access. In 2001, that number dropped to 5%; a majority of public schools (55%) reported using T1/DS1 lines.
Most schools with Internet access in 2003 (95%) reported using broadband connections. One third (32%) used wireless connections.
More than a third (37%) of the people who were responsible for computer hardware, software and Interact support in public schools in 2003 were full-time technology directors. More than a quarter (27%) were members of the district staff, while the rest were teachers or other staff members (16%), part-time technology directors (9%), or other 11%.
