 Education technology and school construction go together. Modernization, updating education facilities, and making a capital investment in education are all included. |
| It was the best route to get folks to understand segregation fast. Civil rights and women's rights had a clear history. Making the transition to rights for people with disabilities became easier because we had the history of the other two. |
| What is our greatest enemy? Segregation. |
| I would like to spend my next two years showing how the aim of making technology available to every young person can be built into the effort to make our nation more secure. That is my latest concern and what I will be pushing over the next two years. |
| It is very difficult to get legislation passed. But then the danger always is that you have no power at all if you do not exercise constant power. |
| People's lives have to change as a result of this legislation. |
| Children are already accustomed to a world that moves faster and is more exciting than anything a teacher in front of a classroom can do. |
| Those involved in the program are interested in how to use photography, videos, the Internet, film, and anything related to communications and transmission of information in the most up-to-date modern ways. |
| The kind of society which we still have is maybe, in some cases, getting worse. Competition is becoming a virtue. Intense competition drives people to go more and more into self-interest. Even to see other folks as competition. |
| The first place to start is on enforcement. We who got the ADA passed did the hard part, the heavy lifting. |
| We can close the gap and improve what happens in the classroom by using educational technology that is the same high quality everywhere. |
| I do not think we are ever going to be able to, for a long time, get the kind of quality of school personnel that we need in our schools, especially in the areas of science and math. One of the answers to that problem is to use more educational technology. |
| The whole community of people with disabilities was alive, politically alive. I give Justin Dart credit for that. He traveled to every state in the country. He really made people with disabilities understand that they had some political power. |
| People didn't always see a person with a disability who had to use a ramp or elevator as people who have been given unnecessary privileges. But I run into that often now. People are saying, 'Why do we have to go to great expense for these people?' |
| Education technology is very important because we have a massive challenge in public schools. |
| We need to get ready for a world where terrorism will not ever fully go away. |
| You have no power at all if you do not exercise constant power. |
| The ownership of computers in the home is far less than the statistics show, because usually when the computer breaks down once, that is the end of it for a long, long time. They do not have the money or incentive to get the computer repaired. |
| I think some combined pressure could go a long way, could establish the fact that this legislation did pass and we mean business by it. We mean to have it enforced, we mean to have it become effective. |
| Competition is such a virtue, and everybody's so busy competing, they have no time for compassion. |
