In conclusion I would like to summarize what I thought was most important in Pflaum’s book.
A vision must be had by the administrators and the technology coordinators.
Technology should be a tool to help learn content-not something they spend the majority of their time on.
Students should be limited when they search the internet. They should have database to choose from instead of just letting them go for it.
Data collection should be made easier by using technology and then be sure and use the data.
Let kids learn different tool as they grow. Don’t try and teach them everything in elementary.
As long as you have the vision…the money will come. Those who believe in technology will find resources to help them out.
I thought this to be a very insightful book about where we are going wrong with technology in our schools. The best part that he used real live examples of what he witnessed. Administrators should read this book before they try to make the shift to technology.
