A Reason for Us to Learn: Schools of the Future

I'm watching Barack Obama's speech from Ohio about education... and right about minute 24 he talks about bringing our schools into the 21st century. He mentions things like a laptop for every student; allowing them to create webpages and powerpoints instead of pencil and paper book reports.
"By fostering innovation, we can help make sure every school in America is a school of the future... we will help schools integrate technology into their currriculum so we can make sure public school students are fluent in the digital language of the 21st century economy."

He goes on to say, "None of it will make much difference if we don't also recruit, prepare and retain outstanding teachers."

You are that outstanding teacher... the one willing to learn and share that learning with your peers and with your students for their future.

Keep moving forward!
