What
Do We Do with These Computers? Reflections on Technology in the
Classroom
Mark Goddard
Washington State University
Abstract
Understanding how cutting-edge technologies have
entered the classroom should be the first step teachers take before
addressing the
questions of how and why those technologies should be integrated
with curriculum. This report advocates a progression of technology
adoption
by educators, administrators, and communities that leads to a
judicious use of technology in the classroom. Computers in the classroom
should
support, not carry, the curriculum as a tool for real-world
applications, inquiry, composition, and communication. Integrating
technology
with the curriculum fosters creativity, which, in turn, can lead to
classrooms where engagement is nourished and learning enhanced.
