I've been teaching now for 15 years and my technology experiences in the four schools systems in which I've worked have basically boiled down to "HERE'S MORE!"
However, I have yet to really see technology used in any sort of way that is clearly and without a doubt superior to student learning without the technology. I've seen technology (namely the internet) used in place of traditional school stuff, as in one school I worked at was relatively new and growing and didn't have much of a library at all, so we (students and teachers) relied heavily on on-line resources. This all worked just fine, but I'm not sure I could say with any sort certanty that the students somehow became better writers or thinkers.
So, out of this course I would hope to get an understanding of how technology can be used to help make students better thinkers, betters writers, better readers, and better consumers of information.
