How many ways can technology change the way we learn? teach? communicate? collaborate? read? write? publish? This butterfly project illustrates the many ways it is changing even the way we are learning -- and we're the teachers! I posted an audioblog that I learned how to do today. Hope you all are learning new things too. Let us know.

Great question, Cheri. I'm not sure how we find out which states, but I'm pretty sure it's not many. I don't think there is a broad understanding of Uerstanding by Design for Learning. It's a less concrete for what it is, and how to do it, than curbcuts and ramps. But extremely necessary to the point of amoral not to offer students options for accessing curriculum.
I just read the lead article in the NY Times today entitled "Schools Cut Back Subjects to Push Reading and Math". It's upsetting that we are narrowing the curriculum for our children because of the tests! and I'm terrified that more reading and math is more drill and practice, thereby dulling the curriculum and limiting options for ways to learn even more than ever! What are we thinking to allow these restrictions for our kids! At the conference yesterday it was so exciting to hear about educational uses of blogs, wikis podcasts, etc. and then I read this and get very depressed for our children. Schools should be a support system for learning and open doors to the vast world knowledge and expression. Limiting that to being able to pass a test unjust and inhibits the joys of learning!
