Children are already accustomed to a world that moves faster and is more exciting than anything a teacher in front of a classroom can do.

I would like to spend my next two years showing how the aim of making technology available to every young person can be built into the effort to make our nation more secure. That is my latest concern and what I will be pushing over the next two years.

You have no power at all if you do not exercise constant power.

Therefore, you are not training young people for the world of today and the world of tomorrow unless you are doing proven technology training. That is one of the reasons I'm so concerned.

Washington has been ignoring this issue for too long.

The whole community of people with disabilities was alive, politically alive. I give Justin Dart credit for that. He traveled to every state in the country. He really made people with disabilities understand that they had some political power.

We can close the gap and improve what happens in the classroom by using educational technology that is the same high quality everywhere.
