It is nearing the end of the first decade of the third millenium... teachers and school administrators want to be on the cutting edge of teaching wth integrated technology. But we've been here for a while, and we seem to be stuck in neutral. "Integrating Technology" to some means posting a syllabus onlne. To others, it's using an online grading program. In some areas, the most basic educational technology services are unavailable due to limited financial resources.
Education is a service industry, and it is the consumers of our education who are the technology experts. The contemporary classroom is as different today from what it was 100 years ago as it will be from the classroom of 10 years from now.
I wonder if we can afford to keep up.
