Our kids are supposed to be the Digital Natives, the ones that inherently understand all this technology stuff. After all, they've grown up with technology and live with it every day! We talk a lot about how fluent our students are with technology, but are they really? In this keynote we'll think about some of the realities of technology use in schools, and try to get a clearer perspective about our roles in the learning process.
