    Education can be freed from geographic constraint: students and teachers do not have to meet in a building within a school within a district, but can be anywhere, doing their work at any time.


    Students can have more interaction with their teachers and with one another, including teachers and students who may be thousands of miles away or from different nations or cultures.


    Parents can readily be included in the communications loop and involved more actively in the education of their kids.


    Teachers can be freed from their tradition-bound classroom roles, employed in more differentiated and productive ways, and offered new career paths.

    • Too many sweeping generalizations and no explanation of how the studies were conducted (methodology). This article may be severely misused by administrators to justify cutting edtech budgets and reducing emphasis on use of tech in classroom instruction.

They are ready to dump our schools.
