Classrooms: 1994-2005
http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=2007020

    This report presents 11 years of data from 1994 to 2005 (no survey was
conducted in 2004) on Internet access in U.S. public schools by school
characteristics. It provides trend analysis on the percent of public schools
and instructional rooms with Internet access and on the ratio of students to
instructional computers with Internet access. The report contains data on the
types of Internet connections, technologies and procedures used to prevent
student access to inappropriate material on the Internet, and the availability
of hand-held and laptop computers to students and teachers. It also provides
information on teacher professional development on how to integrate the use of
the Internet into the curriculum, and the use of the Internet to provide
opportunities and information for teaching and learning.
