Missed the 2010 Celebration of Teaching and Learning conference in New York this past weekend? Watch an hour-long clip from the event featuring Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google.

Schmidt talks about how technology, innovation–and specifically, Google–can change the future of education. As a successful product of the American public school system, Schmidt knows how important a good education can be, as well as ways in which it still needs improvement:

“As a person who believes in education, it’s obvious that the people who are in education have not gotten both the credit, the attention, the funding, and really the sort of understanding of the role that they play, so we have an opportunity now, in crisis, to understand what’s really important in life. And I would argue that an educated population is the only thing that’s important.”
