Engaged learning, educational reform, and technology-in-education initiatives all share in common the view that our current educational system neither meets the needs of students nor realizes its own potential. You can learn about engaged learning and why many educators believe it is critical by reading the article "Meaningful, Engaged Learning" at www.ncrel.org/sdrs/engaged.htm from the North Central Regional Educational Laboratory (NCREL). Explore NCREL's Web site at www.ncrel.org/ to find how technology can improve learning, and how schools are currently using technology. A good resource for learning about educational technology plans is Pitsco's Launch to Technology Plans at www.pitsco.com/p/resframe.htm. Reinventing Schools: The Technology is Now! at www.nap.edu/readingroom/books/techgap/navigate.cgi tracks the evolution of the technology and school reform movement. Not everyone, however, agrees that technology holds the answer to our educational system;s problems. In "The Computer Delusion," from The Atlantic Monthly at www.theatlantic.com/issues/97jul/computer.htm Todd Oppenheimer makes a well-researched and well-argued case that computers do not necessarily enhance teaching and learning. Two e-zines which can help you explore more issues surrounding engaged learning and technology in education are From Now On: The Educational Technology Journal at www.fromnowon.org/ and T.H.E.
