Editor's Notes
- #17 the focus should be on allowing students to use computers more than getting teachers to use them
- #36 b. “Knowledge alone is not enough. Success in the future – for individuals, for communities, for companies, for nations as a whole – will be based not on what we know or how much we know, but on our ability to think and act creatively. In the 21st century, we are moving toward the Creative Society.”
