What it all means

In reading this chapter, one statement stood out to me above all the others. With the advent of all this technology circling around us, for perhaps the first time in history, we all have the voice our founding fathers intended for this country. Although there are still standards of appropriateness and safety for this voice, there is really no one in the US who can't be heard on the Internet. Even if you don't own a computer, every free public library I have been in has free Internet access.

With this access we have a broader more diverse social network, our classrooms have become places where we are responsible for training students to be active creative collaborators. Our responsibility to our students is to model technology use that will bring the world to their fingertips, and make them competitive in their careers.
