For me, literacy means freedom. For the individual and for society.
In a society that functions optimally, those who can should naturally want to provide for those who can’t. That’s how it’s designed to work. I truly believe we’re here to take care of one another.
After many years of training myself, strong emotions are now a trigger for me to look at something. I think that all emotions are triggers for us to grow in our level of consciousness.
I genuinely believe we have an opportunity to revolutionize how we educate our children.
If we marry educational technology with quality, enriching content, that’s a circle of win.
And it’s here and it’s ready and we can really revolutionize the way we educate our children with tablet computers, and I’m committed to doing whatever I can to speaking to whomever I can to send this signal – to pound this message home. Now is the time.
There would be no Star Trek unless there were transporter malfunctions.
Jim Carrey can do anything he wants, right? There are guys like that. I’m not one of those guys, so my career has been cobbled together with what the universe has put in front of me.
We have an amazing advantage right now in that we have developed technology that is so sexy, so engaging for kids.
We had to figure out how to produce books in a cost-effective way.
We can’t afford to sacrifice another generation of American children to bureaucratic politics. We’ve got to get it done. The future, the health, the life – our nation depends on it and it’s just foolish to think or act otherwise.
I’m excited to see how current and future technologies revolutionize the way we learn.
I have always been a fan of ‘Star Trek.’ I love Gene Roddenberry’s vision of the future.
It’s definitely true that there are a lot of the devices we used on ‘Star Trek,’ that came out the imagination of the writers, and the creators that are actually in the world today.
I’ve always been interested in gadgets and technology and I’ve always been a reader.
All literature is political.
I feel like I have been able to notice throughout the incremental march of history during the course of my own lifetime patterns emerging, and there’s a sort of a rubber band effect that happens where social growth and change is concerned.
You can break down anything for a child, and you have to know what your child is ready for and what your child is not.
For me, a good children’s book is a good children’s book is a good children’s book.
We spend an inordinate amount of money of the federal budget on the machinery of war, and neglect our kids in the process, and it’s not OK.
Read the books they don’t want you to. That’s where the good stuff is.
