I would say that its going to be much easier to get that expensive new technology into the classrooms than it will be to get the schools to change their old teaching habits. Its not just the schools, but the parents and communities who need to understand the potential benefits. Walls of fear need to be broken down about how impersonal computers are. In fact, they enable us to become infinitely more social and engaged.

I wrote about what Intel is doing with innovation last Fall. There’s an amazing video that shows us how we may be using new technologies in the not-to-distant future.

BTW – I love how you call cell phones computers. If you think of them that way – doesn’t a light bulb come on? (I read this whole article on my Blackberry in bed this morning.)
