It is all the more important today because our kids live in a tornado of media. We should be comfortable with the thought that we are not promoting technology only for its bells and whistles. Information and communication tools not only promote constructivist learning experiences and collaboration, they meet students on their own media ground. Anything in black ink on a piece of paper just doesn’t work when you can use a colorful online page with good images and interesting design. School should not be the media “dead zone” of their lives.
