I'm not sure if CLRN is living up to its potential, but this website has links to many electronic resources, electronic textbooks, media reviews, and other information for educators. It is worth checking out!
Kelly, this looks very interesting. There are a few resources in the Visual and Performing Arts section that I think I could use. I'm still not clear on whether this is a free or pay-as-you go resource but I am going to sign up for their "trial account".
This article seems to counter a lot of what we hoped: It indicates that giving computers to students may lead to lower academic performance. Hmmm. We may need to look at the methodology behind this study.
I agree with you Sonya.
I also think that the article does not state how students are expected to use the computers. Are teachers being trained? I think more variables are needed to support the claim that technology is not "making a dent" in education.
It's like giving a kid a baseball bat and expect him to hit a homerun. The kid needs coaching, preferably from someone who knows what they are talking about!
