Peter expounds on what return technology does give us, and he closes his comments by stating, "Shouldn't our students have access to the technologies that allow them to create, collaborate and share their thinking on subjects that matter to them?" I couldn't agree more with Peter.
-
Jon Becker speaks of a similar philosophy in his comment when he states, "One word: affordances. Technology should be adopted/integrated where it affords opportunities that were either not possible without it or where it affords "better"/more efficient ways."
-
MaryKayG raises a similar affordance notion when she states, "Technology affords a student with weak decoding skills access to the same texts as his/her peers. Understanding the content/ideas was never the issue for this child. Now, technology allows them to prove to peers and teachers that they too can handle the sophisticated ideas presented in print texts." It's just about impossible to find an opposing argument for that thought.
-
We implicitly choose newer technology over older technology all the time in our daily lives, yet when it comes to the classroom, many seem to think the old ways are inherently better. And I know it's because figuring out how to use the latest technologies well to foster learning in our classrooms isn't as simple as getting into that new car and turning the key ( or pushing the button) and having it all just work. In those cases, we're the users, not the designers. But as teachers, aren't we the designers of learning for our students? Aren't we charged with constantly redefining, rethinking, rebuilding what we do based on the best of what is currently available to us?
-
Technology does not and will not serve every need or situation. But there are absolutely wondrous opportunities for learning afforded by technologies of all stripes that we deny our students out of fear or a lack of practical context. In a world that is growing more complex through its collaborative, inter-connected, networked nature, that is just not acceptable any longer."

If I was asked, "Why should we continue to use and pursue technology?" I'd start by saying we shouldn't. At least, we shouldn't pursue technology. Above all else, we should pursue learning.

"Shouldn't our students have access to the technologies that allow them to create, collaborate and share their thinking on subjects that matter to them?"
-
They truly understand and can see and hear the impact of their learning and the fact that they have access to technology and the difference it can make. These are kids I want leading in the future. To deny that would be denying the chance for our students to lead the way to better places and people."

Howard RheingoldIn a comment on the original post, Peter Pappas, a former Assistant Superintendent for Instruction, explores the possibility that perhaps our return on investment for technology does not take the form of increased standardized test scores. Peter expounds on what return technology does give us, and he closes his comments by stating, "Shouldn't our students have access to the technologies that allow them to create, collaborate and share their thinking on subjects that matter to them?" I couldn't agree more with Peter.

Given the choice, would we teach pilots how to fly using a simulator built last year or one built 30 years ago? Would we want our doctors to still use thermometers filled with mercury?
