Obama Administration: Technology at the Heart of Education Reform - Geoffrey H. Fletcher, THE Journal
"Technology is core and essential to the strategies we are using to reform education." That was the message from both Jim Shelton, assistant deputy secretary for innovation and improvement at the United States Department of Education, and Aneesh Chopra, chief technology officer in the White House. Chopra said that technology in education is less about hardware and software and more about what we teach, the method in which we teach it, and professional development and support for educators.
Comments:
I agree with the statement. It is less about hardware, and more about how we teach and use what we have. I have found that the Smartboard can be utilized in many different ways and my lessons turn out to be more enjoyable for the kids because I take the time to make them that way with the help of the Smartboard.
