Technology Toolkit: Mapping the Journey

Technology in the classroom is poorly used and poorly understood, yet student surveys tell us that more--and more engaging--Internet activities would improve their attitudes toward school and learning. Here, Sandy Hayes reminds us that students don’t need to learn to use the tools, they need to use the tools to learn, and they, in many cases, can be our guide. Hayes adds to this discussion with a “toolkit” in table form that matches forms of technology with specific skills and instructional goals.
