Technology, in various platforms, has the capability to bridge the achievement gap relative to gender and race in America's public schools. Technology, as a transformative tool, has the potential to alter the course of education for the 21st century.
America's public school system is limited by its assertion that technology is a tool of efficiency rather than a platform with unlimited potential. We rest at a tipping point where the infusion and hybridization of technology in the classroom will become the force that allows our public schools to regain status as the institutional phemomenon under which it was created.
The use of technology in the classroom can provide tomorrow's children with progressive means by which to collect and analyze data towards success for all. We will be able to create successful teams of individuals who use technology as a resourceful means to solve many of the world's dilemmas through the use of an e-based platform combining skill, intellect, analysis, and logic.
