Interesting Interview with Steve Wozniak about technology and education:
"What kind of technology can revolutionize learning in schools? What role could technology play? It would [be] along the lines of enforcing individualized learning. If we could reverse some of the paradigms of education to let kids of different ages all participate together in a larger room, then the few human teachers would browse and help students with certain problems that somehow the computer can't. Each person would have a computer that would be very personal and go at different rates. Some schools work this way where they have third through fifth grade all mixed in. The computer would test a student every day and not let the student move forward until he or she has mastered a certain amount. It takes a lot of people running the system; the teachers in the class have to care a lot. They have to want the education to happen. Most teachers are that way. "
