The document proposes that Einstein's theory of relativity, represented by the formula E=mc2, can be applied to education to close achievement gaps. It argues that introducing technology into learning can provide students with the "energy" they need to learn at the "speed of light" and allow all students to reach their full potential regardless of background. By engaging students with new tools that spark their interest and motivation, schools can harness the "mass" of students' minds and convert it into high "energy" learning that powers innovation, creativity, and academic growth for all.

1. The future belongs to the nation that best educates
its citizens. We have everything we need to be
that nation. And year after year, a stubborn gap
persists between how well white students are doing
compared to their African American and Latino
classmates. The relative decline of American
education is untenable for our economy, it's
unsustainable for our democracy, it's unacceptable
for our children -- and we can't afford to let it
continue. President Barak Obama

be the chief objective of science. Never forget this when
you are pondering on your diagrams and equations.”

9. What is energy?
In general, the concept of energy
refers to “the potential for causing
changes.” Energy is the force that
powers mental processes.

10. Manifestations of energy in the
conceptual age:
• Innovation
• Creativity
• Problem solving
• Critical thinking
• Wisdom

E brings Equity and Equality in Education
E energizes the mind at the speed of light

12. Closing the achievement gap requires energy to change.
Closing the gap means moving through space.
The mind must be highly engaged in order to move in time.
Learning at the speed of light provides the energy to close
the achievement gap in the conceptual age.
www.edutechnia.org

13. The speed of light is constant. The
constancy of learning at the speed
of light basically means that in
different frames of reference the
notions of “time intervals and
academic achievement” are
fundamentally altered.

15. When the mind is interacting
with these new tools for
learning, the brain is simply
converting mass into energy.
Our passion for learning
increases and as a result
generates momentum.

16. The blueprint for closing the achievement
gap between white and minority students
may lie in a powerful tool and a simple
formula:

E = mc

E = mc
One-on-one computing is one
giant leap for learning. www.edutechnia.org

18. How do we close the gap?
Technology is a great unrealized hope in
education reform. It can transform learning by
improving both the effectiveness of existing time
and making more time available through self-
guided instruction, both in school and out.
www.edutechnia.org

19. Technology makes it possible for
students to move at their own pace.
Effective learning technologies have
already demonstrated their ability to
pique student interest and increase
motivation, encouraging students not
only to spend more of their own time in
learning but also to be more deeply
involved in what they are doing.
www.edutechnia.org

20. The modern world demands learning environments that embrace
the wide world of people, places, and ideas, and are flexible in their
arrangements of space, time, technology, and people.

21. Conclusion:
Energy is power. Knowledge is power.
We gain knowledge and power through
learning. Unfortunately, the inconsistencies
and boundaries found in our schools have
disempowered our children and expand the
achievement gap.
E is the equalizer. . .
E brings Equity and Equality in Education
E energizes the mind at the speed of light
Education through technology is the equalizer!
E = mc² is the formula to closing the achievement gap.

authority ―the ability to read, write, and communicate ― and to gain enough
traditional knowledge to understand the worlds of nature and culture
surrounding them.” E.D. Hirsch
