The paper presents a reflection on a part of the research conducted for a doctoral dissertation entitled Educational Conditions of Regional Development (Based on Research of Roznowskie Lake Commune Associate). The author attempts to draw attention to the opportunities offered by the Internet Network in developing rural milieus. Interviews, observations and analyses of selected websites conducted during the research helped to discover the importance of the Internet access and the need for ICT education. Moreover, the author presents the diverse character of the Internet – websites, e-learning centers, newsletters, etc. Basing on the literature of the subject (by Ewa Solarczyk-Ambrozik among others) the first part of the paper provides information about the local development of villages, and presents the issue of education. The second part concerns educational forms of web activities undertaken by village residents. The author, for example, raises the subject of useful websites. The third part features some information on web-based information bulletins referred to as newsletters. Finally, the author summarizes potential ways of the Internet access along with the resulting opportunities. All this leads to the conclusion that the development of rural milieus is impossible today without computerization, ITC education and providing village residents with the Internet access.

The author continues his reflections on the research into the educational determinants of regional development in rural areas. In the previous installment of the Discourses, the author paid attention to the opportunities offered by the Internet in developing rural communities. This time, he attempts to analyze educational initiatives undertaken in these milieus and those who pursue them. The author - drawing on the results of his research - characterizes the organizers of educational activities, which he divides into municipal institutions, the private sector, non-governmental organizations, church groups and artistic assemblies. The author also presents various initiatives, drawing attention to the variety of their forms, and wonders why - given the diversity of cultural and educational activities, and a large number of their initiators - educational aspirations of rural youth are realized in a much lesser degree than those of urban youth. While seeking the answer, he points to several essential issues: the time required for changes to occur (especially when it comes to the rural mentality); lack of social leaders; poor promotion of educational and cultural events. The issues presented in the paper stress the visible development of rural areas. However, this is mainly economic development. In order to make social development a 'living' process, we require, according to the author, even farther-reaching changes of education - not only in its school-related dimension, but also understood as a lifelong, continuous process.
