The Computer Delusion

Well, this article, The Computer Delusion, really left me with one simple thought. It's about good teaching. It's not just about the use of computers. It's about using technology to enhance teaching. Just using computers is not enough. We really have to think about the "value added" and use technology to improve what we are doing. We shouldn't be using it just because. We need to teach problem solving skills and help students use the technology appropriately to solve their problems. I also don't think that we should be cutting art and music programs to fund the technology. The fact is- we need both. We need the creativity that the arts cultivate to give the students the skills they need for the future.
