In “Teaching With Technology”, the authors define technology as the application of current knowledge for a useful purpose while innovations represent change for the sake of change. Although many educators value technology within the classroom, some teachers never reach the higher levels of technology adoption. I believe that there are so many demands placed on teachers that they need assurance that technology adoption will be useful to their students and will be productive in raising test scores before many are willing to make that investment.
This article discusses the benefits of allowing students to explore and research information that meets their individual needs. As I am completing assignments in this class, I find that I am doing exactly that. I retain the information so much better when I am able to see the connection between and application of information.
