Abstract
How can access to the Internet as an educational technology be broadened? How can educators capture the value of these patterns of information search and networking to enhance the use and impact of the Internet on learning? Can the ways in which new technologies are appropriated and reinvented by individual users be better understood, creating an opportunity to bring these dynamics into other realms of learning and education? Can we improve on how individuals choose to use the Internet in ways that will enhance their educational potential? If all Internet use is potentially educational, can individual users, teachers, and others, such as parents, enhance its value to learning in everyday life and work, as well as in formal education? These are some of the questions vexing innovative thought leaders in education, and that need to be addressed by research over the coming years.
