I agree with you about the power of the hyperlink 100%. I teach my students the "art of hyperlinking" early on in the year. There really is an "art" to it, in terms of word choice and link placement. Unfortunately when they move on to the high school (I teach 8th grade) it appears they do less and less of it and more and more traditional work (which is another way of saying hyperlinking and the like ceases and reading for the bold print continues). I'm curious if there is any data out there that shows which schools engage more with technology, meaning: elementary, middle, or high school? In addition, which subjects tend to embed technology more in their lessons? Maybe a topic for a new post? Keep up the good work! Well said Wesley.
