Its about teaching not technology

It’s a simple concept, a no brainer. But it’s a simple premise that Bruce Dixon started his presentation. And he’s completely right. We can use technology, but it’s just the tool, not the subject. It’s like saying your going to teach the pencil. When we loose that focus our students are in danger of failure. We can’t risk that. The 1:1 project is not about teaching our students how to use computers in their classes, but to help students become more adaptive learners, and to help techers reach students more effectively then we could have before. That’s when tools do, allow us to do our jobs more effectively… And computers are just a tool.
