[quoting Buckner, 3 Mar 97] I would like to suggest another possibility why schools aren't more embracing: it doesn't fit into the current educational culture. ... The integration plan though requires teachers to change their way of thinking, it requires computers in the classroom not in a lab, and it requires students to take more responsibility for their own learning. In practice, that is a big cultural change even though the research has been talking about it for years.
I'm wondering if we agree that the schools have the wrong educational culture because of the teachers and students. I am also wondering if our concepts of "classroom" and "lab" are so correct that we can know they won't work until teachers "change their way of thinking."
