We need to get away from the notion that computers are something we go use in a lab once a week. When was the last time we sent kids to a pencil lab? ... Just because a kid knows how to use a computer and knows their way around the Internet doesn’t mean they understand how it will transform them as students and learners. Every school should have kids asking, how does this technology change the way I’m a student, a learner, a citizen?

The Freedom Tower is due to be completed in 2013.
The New York City Freedom Tower, which will stand 1,776 feet tall on the site of the former World Trade Center, is the work of the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation. It will serve as a beacon of freedom, and demonstrate the resolve of the United States, and the people of New York City.
Construction on the tower, which will have a cubic base, began in early 2006. Steel became visible aboveground in 2007, and by 2013 the building will be ready for occupancy - twelve years after the World Trade Center was destroyed by terrorist attacks.
The site will also feature the Reflecting Absence memorial, which will honor the 2,986 men and women who died as a result of the terrorist attacks which thrust America, and the world, into war. Over 2,500 people died after the World Trade Center came crashing down to earth.
