Federal programs to increase children's access to educational technology.

I society today, technology, education, and economic growth go hand in hand. Technological literacy is important not only to children’s own future economic wellbeing, but also to the economic well-being of our nation. Technology can help expand opportunities for learners to improve their skills, maximize their potential, and ready them for the twenty-first century. Over the past seven years, the Clinton administration has focused on four goals for educational technology: (1) training teachers to use technology effectively in instruction, (2) ensuring that all teachers and students have modern computers in their classrooms, (3) connecting every classroom to the Internet, and (4) integrating high-quality software and online learning resources into every school’s curriculum.1
