Extractions: Why Teach Technology Technology is embedded in the lives of our young children. "Most children have spent more time watching television and videos than they have spent reading. They have grown up with remote controls and computer toys," according to Erik Strommen of the Children's Television Workshop. "Our children are being raised in a world where they have instant access to information, where they control the flow and access of that information through a mouse, remote control, or a video game controller." Technology had become a vital part of our daily lives. With that in mind, common sense tells us that young children need to have access to technology on a regular basis. "They need to have the opportunity to construct their own knowledge through play and exploration, so they can create, reflect upon and work out their own understanding" (Vygotsky, 1978). "Technology is a tool that can change the nature of learning", according to Lynne Schrum of Education World. The real world is not broken down into separate academic subjects. Through technology, educators can create project-based integrated lessons. Through the use of project based lessons, children have the opportunity to acquire knowledge, and take an active role in acquiring that knowledge. Using technology also allows children to learn through exploration, which is an integral part of learning. Exploration provides children with a range of learning experiences, allowing for a variety of learning styles. While students are acquiring knowledge through their exploration, they becoma active learners. When that occurs, it allows educators allow for a range of acceptible outcomes, instead of insisting on one correct answer.

Extractions: TOPIC / PAGE INFORMATION Information about WebQuests Collections of WebQuests WebRing Information About WebQuests: Defined: A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented activity in which some or all of the information that learners interact with comes from resources on the internet. Timeframe can consist of short-term or long-term webquests. (Concept developed by Bernie Dodge In a short-term WebQuest , the instructional goal is simply knowledge acquisition and integration. Each student obtains and processes a significant amount of new information from the Web and in-school materials. Short term WebQuests are designed to be completed in one to three class periods. In a long-term WebQuest , the instructional goal increases one level, challenging students to extend and refine the knowledge they find online and in the real world. Each student deeply analyzes a body of knowledge, integrates it into their knowledge base. Long-term WebQuests can take between one week and one month to complete.

Somewhat more recently (1965) William Glasser in his book Control Therapy in the Classroom, explained what influences student ability to retain information and ideas, "Students," according to Glasser, "remember 10% of what they read, 20% of what they hear, 30% of what they see, 50% of what they see and hear, 70% of what they discuss with others, 80% of what they experience personally (that involves feelings), and 95% of that they teach someone else.
