Reaching high standards for all children is a core value. Technology is the tool that will allow you to get there. The answer is, to help children become self-motivated, to drive their own needs in the learning environment, because in the future that's the environment they're going to work in. They're going to have to be able to access information and make decisions. That will require them to learn differently.
Technology can be the great equalizer in terms of accessibility to information.
It used to be that the quality of a child's education had a lot to do with the books, the materials and the research that was easily available in his or her school. The technology makes the world available for kids and it becomes irrelevant to some extent, that all of the research is not in the school library. I think technology will help children gain access to learning that is commensurate with their ability rather than their income levels. The core value is access to information, the ability to take the ease of access to create better understanding and use of information. Also, it's very powerful in thinking about ways to solve problems.
