TECHNOLOGY BILL: This Bill would provide school districts $25/ student for technology funding. Jena Collins of Apple Computer explained how students today learn diffeently as Digital Natives and how other states are investing in technology as a learning medium for these students.
Senator Hahn asked a question to separate the actual hardware as only a 'tool' to get the job of teaching done. His point was that without a good teaching/ learning strategy, the technology would not be effective. I testified briefly and did a demonstration of how we can use the tools of cameras, podcasts, wireless e-mail and BLOGS to carry out our job of communicating. We can do the same for students as they go about their jobs of 'learning'.
