This study investigates rural special education teachers' knowledge and use of telecomputer networks and telecomputer resources. Specifically, special educators from 173 rural school districts were surveyed regarding: (a) their familiarity with and use of telecomputer networks; (b) teacher use of resources available on telecomputer networks; (c) student access to telecomputing resources, and (d) obstacles to using telecomputer networks. The results of the survey indicate that telecomputer networks and telecomputer resources are not utilized relative to their potential. The implications of the results are discussed.
