I second this. The panel includes true visionaries like Adam Kay and Seymour Papert. Seymour's comment about kids learning french in France remains one of the most compelling suggestions for the type of technology-supported learning we should be focusing on. The comments above contain many of the reasons why change is hard and slow, but education needs more of these kinds of big ideas rather than incremental improvements of the current system. I also find it useful to distinguish between the process of learning and the system of education.
