   Technology is the
   Tool, Not the Focus

  Technology cannot, by itself, create a
   21st Century classroom … but it can
     be a powerful lever for change.

                 20th Century Schools are based on the
                 assembly line model and attempt to get
                 economies of scale through
                 standardization.

                 Howard Gardner’s research at Harvard
                 describes the EIGHT TYPES OF
                 INTELLIGENCE and suggests that
                 traditional approaches and evaluation
                 are not suited well for teaching 21st
                 Century Students.

                             Meanwhile,
                             businesses are
                             telling educators
                             that industrial age
                             classrooms are not
                             preparing our
                             students for the

• We need more time to discover; discover new Web

 children’s brains are quickly

 new technologies with which they
 spend so much time – and that’s
 because of digital

 today, children today are also
 different neurologically.
