"Our children, youth and adult learners will need ... [a] ... balance of skills to meet the opportunities and demands of tomorrow. To help promote this balance, schools must take advantage of the technologies that are connecting us to information and people around the world and around the corner. Our task is to modernize classrooms and support educators’ efforts to bring innovation to learning."

"Today’s literate learners need to integrate knowledge from multiple sources, including video, online databases and other media. They need to think critically about information that can be found nearly instantaneously throughout the world. They need to participate in the kinds of collaboration that new communication and information technologies not only enable, but also increasingly demand."
