Obama Administration Proposes to “create a quantum leap in educational technologies”
The Obama administration proposes a new initiative to encourage development and adoption of new educational technologies:
Create a quantum leap in educational technologies. The United States should foster innovation in technologies that have the potential to dramatically improve student performance, such as software that is as effective as a personal tutor, and increase access to lifelong learning and training for American workers. The President’s FY 2012 Budget for the Department of Education includes a proposal to launch the Advanced Research Projects Agency – Education, a new organization that will support research on breakthrough technologies to enhance learning.
