“Children are already accustomed to a world that moves faster and is more exciting than anything a teacher in front of a classroom can do.”

We can do it better, more consistently, and in the end, it will cost us less because the students that we produce will be superior to those without technology experience.
We can close the gap and improve what happens in the classroom by using educational technology that is the same high quality everywhere.
The ownership of computers in the home is far less than the statistics show, because usually when the computer breaks down once, that is the end of it for a long, long time. They do not have the money or incentive to get the computer repaired.
Therefore, you are not training young people for the world of today and the world of tomorrow unless you are doing proven technology training. That is one of the reasons I'm so concerned.
