The internet in Education

     The Internet is an important element in the overall educational experience of many teenagers. Schools are a common location where online teens access the web, although very few online teenagers rely exclusively on their school for that web access.  For a growing portion of the online teen population, schools have become an important venue for Internet use for a significant number of teens.

     Further, there is widespread agreement among teens and their parents that the internet can be a useful tool for school. However, 37% of teens say they believe that “too many” of their peers are using the internet to cheat. And there is some disagreement among teens and their parents about whether children must be web-literate by the time they begin school.     (reference: by Lee Rainie, Paul Hitlin)
