Open Source will not save education

Interesting comment from ZD Net, and some things we've definitely found to be true and taken into consideration thus far.

"The problem isn’t supply. It’s demand. Teachers won’t or can’t invest the time needed to integrate new technology into their work. So 20 years have been essentially wasted.

I have watched this waste first-hand, as both a parent and reporter, and Zemsky is right. By the time a computer technology is in place, and teachers are given training on using it, it’s obsolete."

"Computing has also been a powerful tool in the developing world, where time is often in greater supply. Every village which is connected to the Web becomes part of a global village, and can learn at the world’s pace."
