Wendy, I liked your insights into the issues of immersing kids and their learning in 1 2 1. And the scaffolding realization is interesting–how do teachers help with file management, is there a template or adopted structure for this ? Does your 1 2 1 go to Middle School? I would like to hear more about your experiences and observations.

Thanks for your thoughts on this. I agree Empowering Students is vague and I think my idea is more around looking at what we want students to do and learn. How do we decide what that is? How do we move schools from content based schools to concept based learning? To me those are the questions and “want to learn” we’re looking for.

Thank you for this thoughtful response to the article. I have one issue though: While I absolutely agree that one has to have the end in mind when planning the use of computers in education, the end you’ve listed for what we want the students to do (“Empowered Students”) is really quite vague. It would be difficult to know how to implement it, or to know how close you were to achieving it, or if any part of your program was working at cross purposes to it. I say this not out of a need to criticize your proposal, but because I find this question — what do we want kids to do or to learn — is quite often ignored in much curriculum planning. One of the ways that a program of integrating computers into education can distinguish itself is by bucking this trend and coming up with more concrete objectives.
