This article discusses how technology can be utilized to produce the most effective outcomes for student learning. Something that was emphasized was to embrace the age of technology and stop trying to limit student interaction with a resource that will be such a substantial part of their adult life. Whether we like it or not technology is here to stay and we need to embrace it in our classrooms. Perhaps the most alluring suggestion was to not use technology that does not 'transform' your classroom. If it is something that could be done using a paper in pencil it is not a piece of tech that will be highly beneficial to learning and other avenues should be pursued.
The article also discussed how technology can be a tool to encourage student leadership and motivation. When we allow students to take control of their learning we are instilling in them self-efficacy and responsibility. Technology also presents the opportunity for educators to learn from their students. With so much new innovation we are bound to gain great insight from the tools are students are using on a daily basis. Most importantly, we should allow technology to grow our classrooms not inhibit them.
