Integrating Technology
By Anna Hentz
“Even with the best teachers we have, most middle and high school kids say they’re bored 50-70 percent of the time.”-Students power down and turn off the lights of education, so . . .“Give students the opportunity to use technology in school -like blogs, interactive web pages, or YouTube - and connect them to the world.”

“We believe that Web 2.0 technologies will define and be defined by the skill requirements of the 21st century workforce. It is time to understand whether models have emerged for using these tools that are superior to traditional classroom teaching alone and what are the best approaches for the practitioner to implement them.”
Bob Wolf, of The Boston Consulting Group, and a researcher on the use of internet in public education recently commented:
