Addressing the Need: Preparing K-12 Teachers for the Online ClassroomJennifer Freed, Ph.D.Rio Salado CollegeTempe, AZ
"In education. . . we have not really seized upon the power and the tools that are now available to us in the Internet age.“
Eric Schmidt, Google CEO

"We can no longer ask our students to live in a world where they are immersed in technology in all parts of their lives except when they go to school. We must rewire education or we risk losing this generation of media-immersed, tech-savvy students.”
