ETAN call to action

http://www.edtechactionnetwork.org/action/act-now-to-modernize-americas-schools

We need your help now to support legislation to modernize America’s schools. Bills have been introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate that would invest $25 billion in modernizing, maintaining and repairing K-12 schools including updating school networks and technology tools. The Senate version may be voted on this week so please write to your members of Congress today and tell them how important it is to modernize all schools and technologically equip all classrooms and labs!

No road is too long for him who advances slowly and does not hurry, and no attainment is beyond his reach who equips himself with patience to achieve it.
