Technology tools such as laptops are the kind of help that we need. A program that provides laptops for all youngsters would close a gap that most of us are not aware of, or will not admit to, which is a tremendous gap in the poor communities.
We can not wait until we have enough trained people willing to work at a teacher's salary and under conditions imposed upon teachers in order to improve what happens in the classroom.
Education technology and school construction go together. Modernization, updating education facilities, and making a capital investment in education are all included.
We can close the gap and improve what happens in the classroom by using educational technology that is the same high quality everywhere.
