The World at Your Fingertips:

The article states that technology is used intelligently to provide meaningful content and powerful tools for learning.
Technology is best used in education to help students achieve and prepare for the world outside of school.
Richer Materials for Learning, Using Time Differently, and
Professional Development are all areas that the article stated to prepare the studnets for the world outside of school.

I like how the article stated that technology enables teachers to work more with one-on-one or with small groups of studnets b/c technology allows studnets to work independently. This allows the teacher to have more time with the studnets.

The article I read talked about how technology can help students gather information more quickly, and they can spend time evaluating, analyzing,
and using it. Educators need to become experts w/ a new set of skills and knowledge because the standard lecture and drill methods are no longer adequate for meeting the needs of today's students.

Shelly makes a great point about how technology could allow more one-on-one time w/ students.
