Reflections on Usenet

    I found these groups only partially useful, only finding one discussion that had any relative information.

    Only topical and popular pages are going to give 'good' information, whereas not so topical pages are harder to find.

    They have there upside in that, if you can find a goo enough page, then the information that is on it can be very valuable as theses are mainly written by people that have researched this deeply.

"Dr. Resta described six “essential conditions” necessary to overcome the digital divide:
* basic literary skills;
* access to information and communications technologies;
* access to content in the student’s language;
* ability to create and share digital content;
* teachers who can teach with digital resources; and
* effective leadership in educational policy and planning. "
