This podcast was quite interesting, and when i saw the link for it, I immediately clicked on it to hear what Secertary Margaret Spellings had to say about the State of our Education system. She, in my opinion, was quite good with what she said. She made a case for Public Television, claiming that it has always made learning fun and exciting for children. Sec. Spellings claims that as our age becomes more and more digital, teachers must keep up with technology and harnass it to improve how we are educating the future of this country. Spellings presented how No Child Left Behind has put us on a path to ensuring that all children are reading on grade level by goal year 2014. She claimed that the education field needs to continue to document which students are doing well, and which were not. This she says will allow us to "customize" the education that students get best prepare them for their future. Spellings said that she wants to create programs to get qualified teachers into all schools, and especially poverty stricken schools. She says that using technology to make teaching easier is essential to getiing highly efficient and highly qualified teachers. to Sec. Spellings technology is a resource that can help inspire the future leaders of this country to innovate and continue to allow this country to prosper, and we need to harnass this resource in anyway possible to make our Education System as efficient and effective as possible
