The Benton Foundation has released a new report warning that existing commitment to technology in schools ($40 billion in 10 years) is at risk. The threat stems from a combination of the underutilization of existing resources and the present economic down turn. Recommendations include (a) increasing the focus on professional development, (b) recognition that new skills are required for the 21st century, and (c) focusing on the growing digital divide students experience in their homes.
