The Internet raises major issues and challenges for education, not just in China but all over the world. Yet it simply cannot be ignored in terms of the opportunities and resources that it can offer.
We can divide the main issues facing education systems into three groups -- access, quality and responsibility. Let us consider the Internet in relation to each of them.
First, access. Through the Internet, practically the whole world can be brought into your classroom. Using e-mail makes it possible to have a class whose members are spread all over the world and who may never meet either the teacher or each other face to face. It can put students in different countries in easy contact.
The information resources available are almost limitless. With the Internet, students and teachers can access the wisdom, experience, skills, and even guidance of others in a way that was only possible for a very privileged few.
Next, quality. The Internet does pose serious problems of quality for education systems. Obviously, there is a lot of material on the Internet that no one would want children or students to have uncontrolled access to, but there are other problems which are very difficult to solve.
The first is how to handle the sheer quantity of information available, and how to make it manageable.
Because anyone can put information on the Internet, and there are no limits on quantity, it can be almost impossible to find exactly the information that one wants. Teachers and students cannot afford to waste time on unsuccessful searching.
How can we identify the information which will be most useful without overloading ourselves and our Students with unnecessary information? How do we select the best information from all that is available?
This raises the issue of responsibility. There are few editors or quality controllers on the Internet. The ultimate responsibility for selection and judgment falls to the user, whether teacher or student. Teachers, and still less students, are not experts in every field;what we select may not be what we really want, perhaps is old, even wrong.
Any profession must take some collective responsibility in resolving these problems. Conscious and deliberate efforts have to be made to share information between teachers about useful sites and about the best way to use them.
Those who have found something useful or of high quality should not keep the information to themselves ,but share it as widely as possible.
There are many professional discussion groups active on the Internet which aim to do this. Access to them by teachers should be actively encouraged. This will require investment by institutions in giving easy access to the Internet and email to all teachers. Without this investment, educators --and ultimately students -- will be deprived of a vital resource for the development of education in the future.

我们可以把教育系统面临的主要问题分成三类——入学、教育质量和责任。让我们考虑一下因特网与每一类问题的关系。
首先,入学。通过因特网,几乎整个世界都可以被带进课堂。使用电子邮件使你可能拥有一个同学遍布全世界的班级。他们可能从未见过老师和彼此的面。它使不同国家的学生可以轻松地互相联系。
网络提供的信息资源几乎是无穷无尽的。有了因特网,学生和老师能够获取别人的智慧、经验、技巧,甚至是指导,这是过去只有少数享有特权的人才能得到的。
第二,质量。因特网确实对教育系统的质量提出了严肃的质疑。显然,网上有很多东西是谁也不想让孩子或学生可以随便接触的,但是还有其他一些很难解决的问题。
第一个问题就是如何应付所提供的信息的庞大数量,如何使它易于处理。
因为谁都可以把信息发布到网上,又没有数量限制,所以有时简直不可能找到真正想要的东西。老师们和学生们没有那么多时间浪费在徒劳的搜索上。
我们怎样才能使我们自己和我们的学生都免于处理不必要信息的过重负担,又能找到最有用的信息呢?我们应如何从提供的所有信息中选出最好的信息呢?
这就提出了一个责任的问题。网上几乎没有编辑或质量控制人员。选择和判断的最终责任落在使用者身上,他们要么是老师,要么是学生。老师们不是所有领域的专家,学生就更不是;我们所选择的信息可能不是我们真正想要的,或许是过时的,甚至是错误的。
任何行业在解决这些问题时都必须负起共同的责任来。必须有意识地作出审慎的努力,在老师间分享关于有用的网址以及使用这些网址的最好方法的信息。那些找到有用的或高质量的东西的人都不应把信息保密,而应与尽量多的人分享。
在网上有很多有志于此的专业的讨论小组。应该积极鼓励老师们接触他们。这就需要有关机构给老师投资并提供上网和使用电子邮件的便利条件。没有这种投资,教育者——最终是学生——将被剥夺对将来的教育发展至关重要的信息。
