“The dreams of the past - whether it was public TV being rolled into the classroom to teach Spanish, or the film projectors or the videotapes or the computer-aided instruction drill systems - the hopes have been dashed in terms of technology having some big impact. The foundation, I think can play a unique role there. Now, our money is more to the teacher-effectiveness thing, and technology is No. 2, but I'll probably spend more money on the technology things.” ThinkingHas BeensPlayDreamBigsPastFilmTermRolesTeachTechnologyTeacherTvsComputerUniqueFoundationImpactInstructionClassroomMore MoneyEffectivenessDrillsBig ImpactProjectors Author:Bill Gates
