We only have computer laps that have internet connections. The way of the future is for everyone to have their own laptop. It will start at an early age as well.

I had the addresses correct the first time, but upon submitting, was told by Wordpress that I needed to remove the http's...to show I wasn't spam, so I gave that a shot and now they don't work. Check out Medagogy or Thinking Allowed - both on edublogs to find the articles I cite. Please feel free to repair the links if you want. Sorry…the links in the above comment don’t work.

By focusing on learning "as needed" we believe that relevancy will lead to buy-in and the connectedness that you speak/write of. Justin wrote on the <a href="http://medagogy.edublogs.org/2007/05/30/curriculum-20/" rel="nofollow">same idea</a> based on what we were working on. And like you, I was <a href="http://dharter.edublogs.org/2007/05/15/learning-the-way-theyre-living/" rel="nofollow">pretty annoyed</a> at the NYTimes article (and others I've seen since then). It will be students who suffer if we throw out the laptops with the poor curriculum.
