 Today’s learners have grown up in a digital world. They have cell phones, computers, multi-dimensional video entertainment, iPods, the Internet, and they have never seen a TV without a remote control.  Our children are hyper-communicators, goal planners, multi- taskers, experts at figuring out and using technology, and they are active learners. Students experience a huge gap between their everyday lives and activities when they walk into a classroom -using paper, pencils, listening to one person lecture, reading dated textbooks, and memorizing for a test.  Engaging students and making education relevant is critical for our schools to continue to effectively and fully prepare the citizens and leaders of tomorrow. … Because it’s the right thing.
