    Digital learning.

    To me any instructional practice that effectively uses technology to strengthen

    the students learning experience digital learning is also about that, which assists

    teachers to develop their competencies adaptive and interactive software that

    assists in the classroom, internet access, devices. Digital learning is the use of

    technology to expand choices and avenues of instruction. Finally, digital learning

    is the only option that has the great potential to make education customizable

    and enhance personalized learning at a level you do not find in other options.

    Barriers to education reform.

    The first one is all children need a high-quality education; systems do not focus on

    or adequately measure high-quality instructional materials, courses, and overall

    performance and outcomes.

  • The second: it is a great idea that we are funding students and schools, not

    systems and programs. We must fund students in a serious way and find ways to

    better match funding with the childs needs.

    The third and final: we need to recognize our system is too old, it is essential that

    we are teaching our children in a much different environment. We have been

    using that system for 100 plus years, it is no longer an effective model. That

    system needs to be replaced.

    Technology in school reform.

    Using technology becomes a critical matter. We have not been able to personalize

    education to reach each student where the student is with technology we have

    that capacity. We are about helping teachers to become more effective in a way

    to find times and tools that they need to reach each student personally. We need

    to go beyond the traditional school system only technology can help us

    accomplish that for the moment. This tremendous capacity that we have,

    technology can personalize education in a way we never could have done before.

    Technology has the power to customize education so every student can learn in

    his or her style. Technology has transformed the way we live.

    Teachers unions, charter schools, and potential changes in the way schools are

    governed and structured?

    Reform in education must focus on the students, rather than on the interest

    groups. We recognize it is not easy to create a high-quality, student-centered

    education system. That is the main reason a comprehensive reform agenda that

    focuses on college and career readiness, standards and accountability, effective

    teachers education leaders, outcome-based funding, school choice, and digital

    learning etc. for charter schools, that should be understood. The way we govern

    the school system needs to change. We need a better approach with digital

    learning to measure quality control. We take quality and accountability in the

    charter sector very seriously. I want to be cleared on that, we stand with the

    teachers on that fight that is the main reason I am running for office, the most

    important thing is for unions to understand the teaching role has to change. I

    believe the unions can be the essential part of the solution.

  • This is what I think about the common core.

    Common core is probably the single greatest opportunity for our country to

    advance. The states came together to create a higher set of standards than most

    of them had. All of our students need to reach a college career-ready benchmark.

    It provides a common set of standards that innovators, teachers can all target

    toward, rather than 50 different sets of standards. There have been too many

    different sets of standards from state to state. We think it is moving in the right

    direction to get states thinking about the traits that lead to high-quality learning.

    The growing availability of the affordable devices and the number of high quality

    digital instructional tools create an unprecedented opportunity to fundamentally

    improve Americas education system especially in reading and math.

    Funding school to provide digital learning.

    We believe seriously about funding student according to the need of the student.

    Digital learning should be funded through the state.
