Thoughts on Technlogy

Hello!

I love the idea of technology as a focus. I just finished reading a book by Marc Prensky - "Teaching Digital Natives" (2010). It's a really interesting book that explores why and how technology needs to play a role in schools. Prensky also makes the point that personalization of learning is essential - a necessity. The following quote summarizes his thoughts on schools, technology, and lack of personalization. Food for thought! 

"There is a huge paradox for educators: the place where the biggest educational changes have come is not our schools; it is everywhere else but our schools."
