Thin Line BEtween Reality and Virtuality

Submitted by Diane OFee-Powers on Mon, 06/23/2008 - 12:02pm.

I have to learn to wrap my brain around many of these ideas: starting with computers should be approached for inquiry and not just for answers. Many times our students only get to utilize technology when it's time to research a topic. 

The biggest concept that I have to LEARN is that computers and the virtual world do play an important role in education. Actually, I know and believe the importance of the computer's importance to education, now I am working on understanding that kids need to have more time playing in virtual activities to gain their sophistication in technology and constructing thier own truths.
