Too often, America educates its children for the challenges they will face in the global, knowledge-based 21st century using 20th-century technology and methodology. Other nations provide students with laptop computers, fast broadband connections, and state-of-the-art digital applications, infusing technology and innovation throughout their educational experiences. In contrast, the Bush Administration has proposed in its FY09 budget eliminating all funding for the Enhancing Education Through Technology program, designed to improve student achievement and boost students' digital literacy through the use of technology in schools.
The competitiveness and vibrancy of our economy, as well as our homeland security, depend on our ability to maintain a highly-skilled workforce. We must educate new generations of digitally literate citizens to ensure they are able to compete successfully in today's global workforce and participate in our increasingly knowledge-based society.
Our education system, however, is failing to meet this challenge. In America's schools, Internet access is often far too slow, with insufficient bandwidth for online learning, collaborative work, video conferencing, and other educational applications. In some cases, schools still use dial-up Internet access. School technology is often antiquated, in short supply, and insufficiently supported. Distance learning over broadband is a distant dream. Online curricula is offline. Teachers are insufficiently trained to use technology in their classrooms, so that whatever technology is available to them languishes. Students [TO TEACH] the basic 3 Rs, as required by the No Child Left Behind Act, but not the digital skills that will enable them to translate those 3 Rs [Reading, Writing and 'Rithmetic] into success in today's Information Age. The bottom line is that rather than "no child left behind," the failure to fully infuse technology and broadband throughout the education system has left behind many of America's children.
The new Administration should include in its National Broadband Strategy initiatives to promote the rapid adoption of technology and broadband throughout the classroom. It should also include initiatives to advance online learning and "digital excellence" training. In this way, the new Administration will not only stimulate broadband supply and demand, but deliver significant improvements in our nation's ability to educate its children.
