Even if the school district knows there is money available to install better communications, it may not have figured out how. The President is committed to making sure that the federal government helps in this effort. The President's plan would streamline the numerous federal technology programs into a performance-based technology grant program. This simplified structure will ensure that more technology dollars get into our classrooms. When schools are free of the administrative burdens that they must currently endure to receive technology funding, they can spend more time focusing on how to best use that technology funding.
Technology can be a powerful tool to approve academic achievement.
Technology must be integrated into our classrooms in ways that will help increase student achievement. When technology is properly incorporated into our classrooms, more students will develop the skills it takes to succeed in the modern workforce. And American companies will finally be able to look within our own nation to find the high-tech employees they need. I know that you, as citizens and journalists, are ready and willing to do what it takes to improve education. And we will need your help.
