President Obama: Tech in schools 'not a magic bullet'

President Barack Obama emphasized the importance of technology in classrooms but said it wasn't a panacea during a town hall on education in the Hispanic community.

According to pool reports President Obama told students at Bell Multicultural High School in the Columbia Heights neighborhood of Washington that technology in schools is important but "not a magic bullet." In response to an audience question he president said he has an iPad and a BlackBerry, but he took off the latter before the start of the program "I didn't want it going off during the show."
