Should technology be integrated into the Curriculum? This should be the question.
Sometimes yes, sometimes perhaps no.
I pose this question: What about sustained silent reading, should this be abandoned for an ebook? Let's go Green! Let's do whatever is politically correct! Let's get over it and examine what as educators are the best practices and strip away the politics.
As educators we need to explore ways if and when technology is appropriate to use ...even when using the "new and improved" project based learning.
I propose a new learning theory is beginning to emerge a new paradigm shift.
I propose a new teaching theory is beginning to emerge as well.
We cannot let the past go away without an educated reason, an explanation of what will replace it and why? We need to examine with or without metrics what we are doing as educators and why. In the digital age we need to become active learners ourselves and examine our choices and made wise decisions.
Maybe there should be a variety of schools that now seem to be emerging. Public education as we know it should be dissoved and recreated... right now it sounds like education is left behind in the dust... and the digital children have known this for some time.
Why integrate technology into the curriculum?
