Will President-Elect Obama Support Kindle?

Let me rephrase that question. Will the new administration put technology at the top of its agenda? President Obama campaigned on education reform for 21 months. He talked about how he wants to provide a better education for our kids and make American children more competitive again. But will he invest in technologies such as E-ink and push devices such as Kindle in our schools?

That remains to be seen. I personally believe that technology is not a distraction but a facilitator. Devices such as Kindle go beyond what books can offer. They can make learning interactive and provide better ways for educators to communicate with the students. I am not sure where we will be in 4 years, when it comes to this new administrations education policies, but I know we will be better off than we are today if the promises are kept.

What are you thoughts? Are we better off with Obama when it comes to education reform? Please share your thoughts.
