The Technology Gap in Education

ASCD (the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development), has an interesting post today titled "The Technology Gap in Education": http://www.ascd.org/ascd-express/vol6/609-fioriello.aspx

The author asserts:

Technology has a place in the education of everyone, from the very earliest learners to adults. But for it to be used most effectively, the gap between teachers and students, and the gap among teachers themselves, must be closed.

She then offers 4 steps to bridge that gap:

1. Students and Teachers Must Work Together
2. Take Advantage of the Lessons Students Have to Offer
3. Digital Learning Opportunities Increase Student Engagement
4. Join the Social Media World of Today's Students
