“Teaching all students to think and to be curious is much more than a technical problem for which educators,

professional development for teachers and better
textbooks and tests, though necessary, are insufficient as solutions. The problem goes much deeper—to the very way we conceive of the purpose and experience of schooling and what we expect our high school graduates to know and be able to do.” —Tony Wagner, The Global Achievement Gap, 2008

Current situation • Orphan Technology curricula and disciplines • Large investment in hardware, software and outsourcing • High pressure for integrated technology performance • Lone ranger applications: Large effort, meager results • Demand and school preparedness are unsynchronized • Little or no recognition of progress • Too long/short path to solutions.
