"De afgelopen jaren werden veel onderzoeksprojecten uitgevoerd naar een zinvolle integratie van ICT-instrumenten in het onderwijs.

It's good to be a kid these days. Or rather, it's better to be a teenager now than it was 30 years ago. That's the essential argument made in an infographic from Besteducationdegrees.com.
