Blaylock, T Hendon; Newman, Joseph W. "THE IMPACT OF COMPUTER-BASED SECONDARY EDUCATION." //Education// 3(2005):373. //eLibrary//. Web. 04 May. 2010. "This assessment comes from a 15 year-old boy participating in an ** online  discussion of the impact of the Internet on teenage life in America (Lenhart, Rainie, &amp; Lewis, 2001). Although this teenager does not specifically mention school in his listing of awesome Internet applications, virtual education is likely to be among the most frequent usages of the "supertool" in the future. In fact, this alert young man already **has the opportunity to take a wide selection of advanced placement and other core high school** ** courses over the Internet ."
