In this video, IBM outlines what a smarter school, district, and city would look like. However, I feel that the video fail to say exactly what IBM is doing to hep schools, districts, and cities to become "smarter."As a side note, I find it interesting that IBM uses individuals with different accents - and wonder if this is a marketing tool.
