Powering Up … continued

From the Introduction:

“Developing high-quality uses of computers in schools depends on keeping high-quality teaching at the core of the school. Only when sound pedagogical ideas are at the center of a school’s culture, when they drive the hundreds—even thousands --- of decisions made be educators on a daily basis, can they foster intelligent, high-quality uses of new technologies. The success of the school in this regard lies in its ability to keep its most important ideas central and put technology at the service of those ideas.”

What do teachers need in order to integrate technology?

“Essential components for success include being able to plan in advance by knowing what you will teach, having access to troubleshooting support during classes, and having access to the computers as driven by instrutional needs. Whithout these, genuine integration is extremely difficult, perhaps impossible.”
