"The numbers are
striking eight out of 10 schools in the United States have the Internet, but that
does not mean teachers currently have the skills and knowledge to integrate emerging
technologies into the curriculum," said Roberts, who played an instrumental role in
the Clinton Administrations Educational Technology Initiative. "Thats why
attending reputable and quality conferences is essential for educators today. Teachers get
the opportunity to learn classroom solutions directly from their peers and experienced
educational leaders from around the country - which helps them teach their students to use
the technology when they get back home."
Linda Roberts, Director of the Office of Educational Technology and a special advisor
