Old technology is not in that league.
Machines lose their luster as software becomes more sophisticated.
They behave like once-nimble prizefighters who have taken too many punches to the head. They slow down, stumble and eventually just sit in the corner and stare. The same goes for organizational structures that ushered technology into the schools. They are creatures of another time, another purpose. Yet they are still widespread in use as school systems face the challenge of using technology in ways that could not have been imagined 15 years ago when computers were the tools of managers and accountants.
