embedded technology

Submitted by science teacher (not verified) on December 1, 2007 - 15:02.

The majority of my curriculum consists of lessons with embedded technology in a project-based learning environment. The older (10th, 11th grade) students have become resistant to technology even to the point of not bringing laptops (issued by the school) to class. Nor do they check e-mail - that teachers depend on to communicate with students and groups about assignments. Their reason? The school filters restrict their access to how they really want to use the computers so they don't see the point in having technology just to "do school work!" I'm not sure I will ever understand teenagers.
