Closing the Digital Curve

The National Journal has an Education Blog where education activists, policymakers and reformers debate issues of the day.
Recently, the blog sought responses to these questions: "In education, how can and should technology be used to close the digital gap (that is, overcoming obstacles to bring the potential of education to technology to more students) rather than exacerbate it? What can policy makers do to help advance the promise of technological benefits in the classroom?"
My response was titled, "Changing the Curve." I start the piece by saying, "Digital learning is the first chance in history to change the learning curve and extend access to quality education. Personalized digital learning is engaging students and boosting achievement."
