As we introduce new technology into a district, school, or classroom, it is important to take advantage of children's natural ability, enthusiasm, and willingness to master new skills, Mr. Maurer and Mr. Davidson maintain.

As we introduce new technology into a district, school, or classroom, it is important to take advantage of children's natural ability, enthusiasm, and willingness to master new skills. A typical approach is to prepare the teachers first and then let the teachers train the students. Unfortunately, this strategy is slow and unreliable. By the time the teachers have learned about a new technology, what they know may be obsolete. Also, some teachers may never have the willingness, skill, or confidence to transfer their learning to their students.
