Professor Larry Cuban:
With all of the above occurring, one would think that by 2024, age-graded schools and the familiar teaching and learning that occurs today in K-12 and universities would have exited the rear door.
I do not think so. Getting access to powerful electronic devices for all students and teachers is surely a victory for those who believe in better technologies solving teaching and learning problems. But access does not guarantee use, especially the kind of use that vendors and ardent technophiles seek.

Tech in education - enhancement not destruction, just my not-so-humble opinion.
Better technology to solve learning and teaching problems is a great thought but should not be seen as the bottom line. Identifying the problems accurately so they can be focussed on with purpose, practicing to put into the long term memory, motivating and rewarding the student...have to be in the mix too, not to mention self discipline and good mental and physical health.
