New NDN Paper: A Laptop in Every Backpack

Today, the NDN Globalization Initiative is releasing the first paper in A Series of Modest Proposals to Build 21st Century Skills offering innovative ideas on the steps that can be taken to help our children and workers right now, today.  This first paper A Laptop in Every Backpack suggests that:

Achieving the American Dream in this century increasingly requires fluency in the ways of this network and its tools – how to acquire information and do research, how to construct reports and present ideas using these new tools, how to type and even edit video.  We believe we need a profound and urgent national commitment to give this powerful new 21st knowledge, essential for success in this century, to all American school children.

Feel free to comment on the paper or pitch us on some additional ideas here on our blog.
