Technology is a major factor in education for the 21st century. South Dakota has the distinction of being the most wired state in the nation for grades K-12. The state was also ranked first nationally for three years by the Center for Digital Government´s Digital States Survey. Each classroom in Sioux Falls - and the state - is wired for computers to each student, while schools are connected by high-speed communications to all other schools, universities and the Internet. At the middle and high school level, each school has video-conferencing capabilities for e-learning opportunities.
