If you think technology can help people learn, make your voice heard!
The New York Times would like to believe that
laptops are a barrier to learning because they don't directly contribute to a 19th or 20th century definition of "achievement".
But those of us who have experienced learning with technology know that computers aren't the answer themselves, nor are they the sole problem when students "fail" to learn. Education is at a critical moment and needs holistic change - in the ways we teach, we learn, and the tools and resources we involve in the process.
The reporter interviewed educational technology advocates for this article, but ultimately chose not to include their perspective in her story.
If you are a teacher or student who feels that technology has had a positive impact on learning, please share your story!
