[quote=Anonymous]NP, but the skills a person needs to use computers in the workplace are not something they need to practice from age 5 to develop. Technology in the schools is not, by and large, helpful. Our kids spend hours playing "learning games" that don't lead to increased knowledge. During the literacy block, they should be reading print books and writing about what they think/feel. During the math block, they should be using math manipulatives and writing to explain their answers. During science and social studies, they should be having books read to them by teachers and writing about what they have learned. That's how you develop strong readers and writers: by actually reading and writing. I am a literacy specialist and I am so tired of my administrators trying to find the next great technology tool to improve our scores. We should look back at when our scores were better: we were reading and writing in every content area, every day.[/quote]
