While I certainly don't have the ability to provide a total solution
for all our schools, I feel very fortunate that I do have the privilege
of being involved in a process that could go a long way toward helping
keep those dreams alive.
We must remember that while technology has enormous potential to help
students prepare for the new demands of the twenty-first century, merely
installing it will accomplish little. Networking advocates are unlikely
to succeed unless they convince parents,policymakers, and the public
that using technology to empower students, promote active learning, and
break down walls between classrooms and the "real world" adds up to a
better way to prepare children for the Information Age.
