Let students use technologies in the classroom.
Education technology is very important because we have a massive challenge in public schools.
I think every student needs access to technology, and I think technology can be a hugely important vehicle to help level the playing field.
In education, technology can be a life-changer, a game changer, for kids who are both in school and out of school. Technology can bring textbooks to life. The Internet can connect students to their peers in other parts of the world. It can bridge the quality gaps.
I feel there is so much more we can do in improving education, making it accessible and understanding how technology can be a part of the solution.
When new technology in the classroom starts happening, some people get very excited and think of it as a panacea. It attracts very high amounts of money; it raises expectations, and those expectations aren't met.
Educators are still spending way too much time trying to control what kids learn, bending the content to their own purposes, hoping beyond hope to change - by using technology - but not change too much.
There is incredible potential for digital technology in and beyond the classroom, but it is vital to rethink how learning is organised if we are to reap the rewards.
