Vision of K-12 Students Today

What should we expect from schools?...
All countries can become proficient at speaking the English language-
China then India are the largest English speaking countries
Math skills are needed- 24 countries beat us in math
Students need better reading comprehension to help them learn- 16 countries beat us in literacy
Students reported reading 2 hours a week, while they watch TV 4 hours a day or game 19 hrs a day
Statistics say young people enjoy using computers
40% have online friends they never met 
Schools need up-to-date technology
Schools need foreign language abilities
Students need to learn "how" to study

*ENGAGE STUDENTS*
89% don't use blogs
76% teachers don't use group email
9% of teachers have a blog
29% don't use technology
97% don't instant message
75% is graduation rate
1 in 4 won't get diplomas
TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION NEEDS TO HAPPEN NOW!!!!
