Rethinking Tech in Schools

Reading ch. 5 of this book by Domine, it hit home a few times and reiterated what we've discussed all along; that we need to be ensuring we're looking at the curriculum and our pedagogy first, then adding technology as a tool not the starting point for our planning.   The quote we were discussing this morning is, "the theory and practice of technology integration need to be inextricably connected to the processes and products of curriculum development." (p.99.)  At our table group, we discussed how we agree and we are trying to ensure that we aren't picking a software program, for example, that we want to use then fitting lessons to that; rather than doing it in reverse.  It makes sense to ensure we are covering curriculum and focusing on student learning, then add a tool to our plans.
