The twenty-first century offers both challenges and opportunities for American schools. Educators must now answer questions such as “What are the risks and benefits to new media and digital technologies?” and “How can you effectively implement specific technologies in your lessons?”

What benefits might it bring to the classroom and to student achievement?
