Instead of taking sides, we should think about how to use digital tools well. The reasons for doing so are compelling: (1) We need to transform American schools into higher-performing organizations, whether or not we use technology; (2) Digital technology provides a powerful toolkit, offering unique advantages (such as bridging time and distance, democratizing access to information and services, and leveraging exponential increases in computer power) that have helped transform other organizations, especially those based on information and knowledge; and (3) Many schools already use technology in smart ways to support education goals.
