Technology opens the door for many tools to be used in education.  However, access to that technology is dependent upon access to the Internet.  It is cheaper to build access to Internet than it is to build more schools, transport students, or hire more teachers.  There is lots of evidence today that education needs to be extended and that students need more 1:1 tutoring.  The Internet has become a tool of unlimited capacity and a low cost alternative.  While it will not be the answer for everyone, it certainly will increase the achievement of many.  The answer should not be that we prefer building schools and hiring teachers and since we can not afford to do so we do nothing.  The answer should be here is the alternative that will impact a greater number of students.
