MCCAIN, OBAMA REPS DISCUSS EDUCATION
Wed Jul 2, 2008 2:06 pm ((PDT))
> Speaking at the Association of Educational Publishers' Great American
> Education Forum on June 6, education advisors for Sens John McCain (R-AZ) and
> Barack Obama (D-IL) outlined the candidates' stances on key issues June 6, with
> both emphasizing a larger role for technology in schools.
>
> Jeanne Century, director of science research at the University of Chicago's
> Center for Elementary Mathematics and Science Education, said Sen Obama
> would push for school systems to bring broadband Internet access into all K-12
> schools.
>
> Century said school officials should encourage students at all grade levels
> to use the web to research and supplement reading assignments and daily
> homework. Lisa Graham Keegan, a former lawmaker and superintendent of public
> instruction in Sen. McCain's home state of Arizona, said that while school
> leaders struggle with shrinking operating budgets and teacher shortages, technology
> could supplement educators' daily lessons.
>
> She added that qualified teachers could never be replaced by advanced
> classroom technology. Asked if McCain had taken a position on broadband Internet
> access in schools, Graham Keegan said the senator had not yet released his
> stance on classroom technology. At a news conference after the forum, she said
> that position would be unveiled in the coming weeks.
