"I wanted to post a list that talked about how to "use" technology in the classroom, but I found myself revising that word "use" to the more general word, "model." The reason I did this is because so many teachers believe that if students aren't actively sitting in front of the computer screen themselves, then clearly technology is not being used in the classroom. This myth can be a gatekeeper of sorts for many teachers, and I wanted to create a list that both gives advice on how to "use" but also acknowledges that in simply modeling the use the of technology, the students are also learning to use it in an indirect way."

So, this is what Delaney did in her class: She read Robert Frost's poem, The Road Not Taken. She showed Kid President's Pep Talk. And then passed out a sheet of paper with a few questions: "What makes you awesome?", "What can you do to make the world awesome?" "Who supports you?"
