Kristen Weatherby
This article starts off by exciting the reader to take a tour of two distant Tallinn, Estonia and Hong Kong, China. In Estonia the govenrment made it a law that everyone had access to computers. As a result, the "Tiger's Leap Forward" was created to create a influx of computers into the shcools. What did "Tigers Leap Forward" do for public education in estonia? This gave them the opportunity to give each student access to project based learning programs via technology systems. It also begin a trend to get teachers more familiar with web resources for their students. Then, the journey continued to Hong Knog, 30 % of the population speaks English and all of the material in the education system has to be typed in English. Why do public schools in Hong Kong have to compete for students enrollment. Because students in Hong Kong have the choice of what school they awant to go. As a result, schools try to more desirable and make all their teachers IT savy.
