But what is clear from the long-term perspective is that the past 200 years brought us to a better position than ever before to solve these problems.

  •  
    "teachers should take on new roles and approaches to using technology that transform the learning experiences they offer to students.  We need to help educators become fluent users of technology, creative and collaborative problem solvers, and adaptive, socially aware experts throughout their careers. We need to equip them with a pedagogy that is rich in project-based, authentic learning experiences that require students to use technology as tools for discovery, collaboration, and the creation.  Only then will we see the full impact of what is possible with technology. The notion that technology itself can improve student outcomes must die. "
