The model posits that in order to transform American  education, we need to leverage modern technologies to create a massively  customized, superpowered learning environment tuned for this generation  of students.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">We are seeing more and more examples of effective  and compelling learning opportunities in and out of classrooms using  digital resources and online collaborative environments to engage and  inform teachers and students. There are countless articles published,  stories told, and student work displayed showcasing global interactions,  presentations of creative solutions to complex problems, and  professional grade works done by students and worthy of a wide audience.  We are observing teachers challenging students with interesting  assignments that allow for exploration and practice using technologies  to do their work.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">We see increasing inclusion of social and  participatory experiences coupled with online learning. And alongside  this advent of social networking technologies comes the ability to  access presentations, lectures, and interviews with experts;  repositories of highly produced media; and a wealth of museum, national,  state, and local park resources and library and reference materials  previously available only in physical locations. All of this is \u201cat our  fingertips\u201d and \u201con the go\u201d in our increasingly mobile-enabled world.  These existing and emerging technologies, resources, and interactions  combine to create what should be the golden age of teaching and  learning.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>So as we manage this transition from a predominantly  print-based classroom to a digital learning environment, we have been  launching a number of initiatives.
