Every student needs the ability to navigate through the 24/7 information flow that today connects the global community. For students to thrive in a world enabled by information technology, we must give them the skills to make sense of and use the information that engulfs them. They need to know how to learn new skills as quickly as technology creates new challenges.
Many students already use computers and surf the Web on their own, but there's more to educational technology than desktop computers.
Teachers and students need access to laptops and pocket PCs, digital cameras and microscopes, Web-based video equipment, graphing calculators, and even weather-tracking devices.
They need to become responsible and savvy users and purveyors of information. They need to need how to collaborate successfully across miles and cultures.
