Abstract

The need to understand the end user in order to develop, demonstrate, and promote applications of information technology in education was identified as an important issue by the Committee on Applications and Technology of the National Information Infrastructure Task Force (1994). The exponential growth of teachers and other stakeholders in education who are becoming end users of Internet makes urgent the need to identify methods and strategies that effectively teach how to use and integrate Internet for educational purposes. Internet, recognized as a catalyst that enhances professional growth by providing network access to information and resources and by creating communities of educational leaders engaged in critical inquiry, is a valuable tool to use in efforts to reach The National Educational Goals. The need prompted two initial questions. Can educators learn to use Internet to access information on a database? Once educators learn to use Internet what would they do with the skill?
