Education and Technology, Teaching and Learning.
Those topics are four of the most challenging issues facing our nation and our world.
OK, so I won't really try to solve all these issues from the confines of these pages. However, I will take a hard look at how technology is helping and hindering our efforts in the classroom.

What does it take for California to step up to the plate and do a world-class job of funding technology in the classroom?
There are plenty of examples of successful educational technology programs in states across the nation. What will it take for California to get on board? We are known for our technology heart (Silicon Valley), we have cutting edge entertainment technology and we have an insatiable for technology in our homes, our cars and our bathrooms.
Why can’t we get motivated to pump up the technology capabilities in the classrooms of this state and prepare students for the world we know is coming? The technology budgets of school districts are struggling under the weight of sustaining even the most basic educational technology. The promise of improved teaching and learning becomes a sad dream for those of us who know what is possible. The lack of funds creates inequities that echo through all the decisions on campus.
We need a Kennedy-like motivation to move ed tech into the 21st century.
