The school should fit the school instead of the other way around. A school in Florida is using the latest technologies to support this ideal. They are using technology to help students visualize concepts allowing for students to activate prior knowledge, get active in learning, and have better, longer transfer of the information. They believe that using these new technologies allows for learning by doing, getting feedback and allowing for refinement of understanding to add new knowledge.
The article stated that it’s better to broadly educate someone than to teach them how to perform isolated tasks. Students communicate with other schools, other ages, and experts in the fields they are studying using technology. They are also sharing what they learn in different ways using technology.
We need to remember to think of the students' learning needs first and adapt our classroom environments around these needs.
