Good for us all to think about. And good to know about an article like this. I'm seeing a little backlash against "technology" like this in various articles. I'll try to gather them up.

Wow, what an interesting perspective. I'm inclined to believe some of those high-performing schools are excelling *despite* the lack of technology, but I definitely sensed the author's bias here...it almost seemed like she wanted to prove that 'fancy equipment' detracts from real learning.

Don't waste money on hardware that will quickly become outdated or dubious learning software peddled by opportunistic vendors. Instead, build a 21st century information infrastructure that gives teachers real-time feedback on how students are progressing in and out of the classroom — not just on standardized tests, but also a whole range of health, social and developmental outcomes.

  It would be nice if he could back this up with some tangible examples of what that looks that. Perhaps if we can figure out what this truly looks like we will be onto something big.
