In reply to the discussion: So it's another one of those "Obama = Bush" days on the Intertubes... Sigh. [View all]sheshe2
(92,886 posts)Although the United States was once a pioneer in connecting schools to the internet, were now falling behind while other nations move forward with aggressive investment in digital learning and technology education. In South Korea, for example, all schools have high-speed internet connections, and all teachers are trained in digital learning. Printed textbooks will be phased out by 2016.
The fact is, schools without internet access put our students at a disadvantage.
Thats why President Obama is unveiling a bold, new initiative called ConnectED, which will connect 99 percent of Americas students to the internet through high-speed broadband and high-speed wireless within 5 years.
