I feel like the kid in the back of the classroom who's spent the entire semester watching, listening, not saying anything and then on the last day of class finally, slowly, raises his hand.
Everyone looks back.
I have a question, directed to our teachers.
How do you do it?
How do you reconcile the back-to-basics mandates of NCLB with the goals of technology integration? How do you juggle a curriculum that, by design, must focus on basic skills while at the same time using technology to promote improved problem-solving and critical thinking skills, higher-order thinking, differentiated instruction, greater communication, collaboration and creativity and other so-called "21st century skills?"
Will you share?
Because it seems to me that this goes to the heart of the ongoing debate about the meaning and merit to continued investments in technology and technology integration.
