"I think it's the most beautiful tool of the world and it allows us the most magic thing."-Florence Dassylva-Simard, fifth-grade studentThe bell rings, and the halls of Institut St-Joseph in Quebec City echo the clatter of the fifth- and sixth-graders. Some take their chairs in the more traditional classroom on the lower floor. Others attend to their projects in the large, open activity room upstairs, pausing perhaps to study one of the chess games hanging on the wall before meeting in groups to plan the current project. A third group steps up a half flight of stairs into the small narrow room at the front of the building, one wall lined with pictures and plastercine models of imagined aliens, the other with a bank of Apple computers. blogging education internet lit-review weblog

A great read about technology integration in the classroom and using technology in general.

In the article, it states that, "teachers of social studies content are less likely than teachers of other content areas to utilize technology in their classroom." This research study (carried out by a UCF faculty member) focuses on how a technology coordinators' beliefs towards technology, instruction, and students impacted how technology was used during a technology-enriched project with a group of fourth grade students. It was found that the coordinator's beliefs did in fact directly impact how technology was used.
