Create national minimum standards for technology in schools
No matter if it is K-12 or higher education, our students need to learn how to use and accelerate technology. However, schools are all over the board on this, many for lack of funding, others have just not caught up yet.
Set minimum standards in equipment, software and technology curriculum for all schools and provide funding for those that are struggling. In standards testing for students, test not only for english, math and science but on technology usage and perhaps development as well.

E.g., check out Project New Media Literacies (see http://newmedialiteracies.org/), which "explores how we might best equip young people with the social skills and cultural competencies required to become full participants in an emergent media landscape and raise public understanding about what it means to be literate in a globally interconnected, multicultural world."
