Schools as they now exist will compete with this network. As educators, we must understand the underlying forces surrounding us and make the appropriate changes to our schools. We can't keep introducing new technology and hope for the best. We must fundamentally change the way students learn and the way we teach. What Educators Can Do Here are four suggestions to begin the process of restructuring in your school or district.

Each school that I have visited has teachers who are masters at motivating students to believe in themselves and to see learning as an adventure and life-long activity. Part of the acknowledgment process will involve developing systems to disseminate excellent teaching practices, and telecommunications can play an important role. Take time to observe the world our students will enter. This will help educators identify the skills students need to function in the information age. However, understand that early models for restructuring need to be carefully evaluated and processed.
