Technology has altered the nature of research and learning, Jukes said. Even the definition of what it means to be intelligent or educated has changed. Change means rethinking the nature of schools, too, and why kids even need to show up in a public school classroom. Today, he claimed, it's one in four. Not by making technology a subject or curriculum, Jukes said.
Technology is a tool.
Those who focus on hardware or software or bandwidth miss the point. Educators need to keep the focus on the learning process, on teaching students to communicate and to think critically. And though exponential change will continue, some things will remain the same.
