    This is the 2010 National Education Technology Plan summary.  While very broad, it does "Encourage states, districts, P-12 programs, and postsecondary education institutions to experiment with such resources as online learning, online tutoring and mentoring, games,  cognitive tutors, immersive environments, and participatory communities and social networks both within and across education institutions to give students guidance and  information about their own learning progress and strategies for seamless completion of a comprehensive P-16 education."

  • According to Pew research, 60 percent of students say their technology expectations are still not being met. But it is clear that today's students have more options than ever, with virtual schools, open education initiatives and massive open online courses, and online classes and programs.

      This statistic communicates to me that students are not satisfied with their experiences with technology in schools. Education is not an avenue in which students should be entertained. Sometimes less is more.

      Before technology and even in today's schools there wasn't many choices to deliver a lesson let alone many ways to incorporate the lesson physically. With technology today, teachers are able to teach globally with web conferencing. They can use immersive education domes to bring the lesson to life. Technology has brought so many opportunities to schools, but there are also disadvantages.
  • Typically students had few choices of any kind, particularly before new options, globalization, and competition began to put cracks in the traditional model of education delivery. But technology has finally tipped the balance. Today the power to drive real change lies with the learner, not the institution.

  • There are a lot of reasons but one of the biggest is the way that technology has given rise to a new kind of education consumer—the active learner—who is using technology to drive change in ways that we haven't seen before.

      The emergence of the active learner is extremely important! I think it's a great thing that learners are coming out and wanting to be hands on and active and push towards a new classroom of the future!

    I chose to share this article because I believe that technology can enhance education, but school is not all about entertaining students and measuring up to their technology expectations. There can be a good balance between technology enhancement and traditional instruction.

    Virtual reality can work for educators as a tool in assisting students to become immersed in a learning environment where they can participate in their own learning in a technology based environment. My name is John Shaffer. I am a seventh grade Science teacher in Academy School District Twenty in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
