21. “ Today’s students and many younger teachers
are “technology natives.” They have never
known a world that did not include personal
computers, online social networking, instantly
available current information, shared
information, music, and video, or constant
communication and availability across the
globe. Using these and future technologies
appropriately and effectively will make a
difference for the students of Aldine by
addressing their needs for successful living and
working in the 21st century.”
