Education and IT

This assignment should hit close to home...or rather "work". Schools struggle to keep current in technology and provide the latest and greatest, while balancing the demands of class curriculums and exam requirements. In an effort to give students the best education possible sometimes the technology cart gets in front of the horse.

The first part of the assignment is an opinion / experience based question. The second part is a research into the future of education and its relation to IT.

  1. From your experience, identify three benefits and three problems technology brings to the classroom.
  2. Now research online and find three of the newest, hottest most cutting-edge IT "toys" in education.

Post your responses to the forum. This is due by 9/30 (primary post), and responses are due by 10/5.

How will I grade your posts? Great question! Please refer to the attached rubric. This is how all posts to the forum are assessed.
