"There has been a lot of chatter lately about whether integrating technology into the classroom is having an impact on student learning. "Where is the data that justifies the millions of dollars spent on technology?" I urge you to read the September 3rd, 2011 NY Times article by Matt Richtel entitled; "In Classroom of Future, Stagnent Scores." A fantastic article which thoughtfully pokes at many of the uncertainties regarding technolgy that school districts face today.
Many say that students can learn content without technology in the classroom, and I don't disagree. We know this to be true because prior to technology in education students still learned and passed tests. If students can 'succeed in school' without technology, why are we spending so much time, energy, and money to get it into our classrooms? This is a valid question...but one that raises even more questions. "
