About

With its easily obtainable wealth of information, the Internet has proven to be both a boon and a challenge for today’s public schools. Teachers can download lesson plans and participate in online professional development courses; students can access new research and chat with other students around the world. But with technological innovation come legal pitfalls, where issues such as free expression, privacy, and copyright take on a whole new dimension.
