One Laptop Per Child Making the World a Little Flatter

In a recent post on The Fischbowl, Karl Fisch discussed an experience with the governor of New Mexico. He and other educators were invited to a participate in a conference call on educational issues. Another member, Chris Lehmann, never got to ask the question he prepared. I would like to hear an answer to his question:

"With the One Laptop Per Child mission, we are soon to see millions of students in the developing world use laptops in their learning every day. You want to see American education move into the 21st Century, what would you do to provide American students with the same opportunities for connectedness and collaboration?"

Any of you presidential hopefuls want to offer an idea or two?
