Thanks for the post. I'm looking to bring our school up to speed with the Computer Science and Technology program. Could you link the reference to the statistics posted:

" * 75% of for United States high schools offer a Web Design/Development class (2007)

* 71% of the educators involved in the Expression Web tutorial pilot reported that it was a valuable teaching tool and they would use it again. The remaining 29% strongly agreed with that statement, yielding a full 100% accord amongst pilot educators that the Expression Web tutorial was a valuable and useful teaching resource.

* 64% of students reported that, after participating in the Expression Web tutorial, they would like to build another Web site.

* 57% of US teens report that they create content for the Internet"

Also, these facts seem very telling to a educational program what the current trends are for Computer Science programs nationwide. Are you aware of any additional facts/figures/research that can be linked which demonstrate these trends?

Thanks!
