This is engaged learning at its best.
Technology is compelling education to undergo a profound transition.
Teachers and students alike, with more and more information available, are assimilating new ideas rapidly and continuously. Further, technology is ultimately shaping the quality of each student s future employment a student becomes computer literate or career prospects are severely limited. Yet, the digital divide has grown steadily greater over the past ten years. Chicago Public Schools are moving toward full connectivity and working to address teacher and technical staff development, while the schools of the Chicago Archdiocese spend far less on information technology. Computers, the Internet, and interactive video are not just the latest fads, but are shaping the very process of education.
