The participants delved into how technology is revolutionizing the educational process and expanding educational opportunities for various groups, including disadvantaged students, older adults, and rural populations. Additionally, they discussed the roles of policy makers, the private sector, school administrators, and teachers in evaluating, funding, and supporting technological innovations in classrooms.
