"Good News for Ed Tech in the Economic Stimulus Bills" (THE Journal, 02/09)

There is good reason to believe that educators in ed tech may have the opportunity to use some of the federal dollars in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 to improve student achievement with technology. In the current version of the bills, there are a number of opportunities for technology. It is possible that the legislative process will change certain aspects of the bill, but the sections on education in both the House and Senate versions are very similar, so significant change is unlikely.
