In general, the databases that have come online this spring and summer of 1996 provide tailored information services for individualized needs, collect feedback on the needs of our region and link those needs with goals and projects that go beyond our region. In particular, increasing the rate of interaction in an educational setting can increase the effectiveness and the rate of the learning.
Databases provide an ideal tool for improving interaction.
These databases are becoming available at a time in which the state and its schools are engaged in a significant effort to increase their connection to the Internet. Consequently, they provide additional reasons for schools to do so, and to make educational use of Internet when they do connect. The variety of these databases deserves further description.
