Bill Gates on Education

So Bill Gates was on Reddit answering questions of the general Reddit community earlier today (2/11/12).  Reddit is "a social news and entertainment website where registered users submit content in the form of either a link or a text ("self") post" (-Wikipedia).  Essentially, Bill Gates said he was going to be fielding questions at a specific time from the online community and did so.

One of the questions he took the time to respond to was someone who asked a specific question about technology and math education.  Considering this man was a trailblazer of the digital era, and has since focused his efforts on his philanthropy (including funding for Education), I really was interested in what he had to say on the subject.

Also, Bill Gates' response to a student who wrote to him for class in 2001 (and his advice specifically talks about education and technology?!)

For those who are interested, here is the link to the full AMA (Ask Me Anything). 

also, he currently uses a Perceptive Pixel (which apparently is a massive Windows 8 Touch Whiteboard).

because I know I was not the only one who wanted to know.
