Actually, this doesn't surprise me one bit. There are no computers in classrooms in my building. My lab it outdated by a solid ten years. I have two mobile carts totaling less than 30 computers for student use . And my teachers are illiterate and unwilling to learn technology standards for use in their classrooms. Face it, K-12 technology still has a long way to go.

PORTLAND (AP) - According to an annual report card, Oregon ranks near the bottom in the U.S. for technology in K-12 classrooms.        </DIV><BR /><DIV>Education Week's Technology Counts 2008 report released this week gives Oregon an overall D grade on technology. That places it ahead of only two states -- Rhode Island and Nevada. Washington D.C. also finished lower than Oregon.        </DIV><BR /><DIV>Carla Wade is technology education specialist at the Oregon Department of Education. She says the report overstates Oregon's weaknesses and fails to account for its strengths. Wade says they focus on training teachers to use technology in the classroom.        </DIV><BR />West Virginia, South Dakota and Georgia scored highest in the report. It looked at how much access students have to technology and the capacity of educators to use technology.
