technology years two
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.
educational technology needs
I will continue my activities related to education in one way or another. I certainly would have at the top my agenda, with respect to education, the need to do much better with modern educational technology.
school technology challenges
Education technology is very important because we have a massive challenge in public schools.
technology community tools
Technology tools such as laptops are the kind of help that we need. A program that provides laptops for all youngsters would close a gap that most of us are not aware of, or will not admit to, which is a tremendous gap in the poor communities.
technology people training
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.
technology cost students
We can do it better, more consistently, and in the end, it will cost us less because the students that we produce will be superior to those without technology experience.
educational technology quality
We can close the gap and improve what happens in the classroom by using educational technology that is the same high quality everywhere.
school technology together
Education technology and school construction go together. Modernization, updating education facilities, and making a capital investment in education are all included.
congress explain explained helped home people uncertain
We helped explain it to the Congress, but also Congress was getting people from back home who explained it to them in no uncertain terms.
depend government great minorities people unite
It would be great if people with disabilities could unite with women, unite with minorities who depend on government enforcement.
basic children clearly education elected giving ground hope law lies officials phone positively respond responsibility sound states visits york
We hope that the elected officials will respond positively to a ground swell of letters, phone calls, e-mails and visits from parents. The law clearly states that the responsibility for giving a sound basic education to our children lies with New York State.
information interested involved modern program related
Those involved in the program are interested in how to use photography, videos, the Internet, film, and anything related to communications and transmission of information in the most up-to-date modern ways.
attitude
The problem was just a mean attitude that festers and has to be challenged.
civil enforce government
Our government just won't enforce civil rights laws. The laws will be ignored.
