What Change Would You Make To The Education
System?

• "To give our children the chance to live out
  their dreams in a world that's never been more
  competitive, we will equip tens of thousands of
  schools, community colleges, and public
  universities with 21st century classrooms, labs,
  and libraries," -- President Obama, January 15,
  2009

I would make schools more focused on 21st-century
learning skills with engaging, technology-rich
and high-quality learning environments. Education
would be less focused on lower-level learning,
but would use more project- and performance-based
learning to measure student growth.
I would use tools such as distance learning to
teach students more relevant material. Kids will
be drawn into a course by knowing they will use
what they learn. Then you can keep their
attention by using technology to talk to
professionals around the world.
