Hands on learning should not be a reward reserved only for select topics. It should be an integral part of the classroom. We can only truly know that which we have experienced.
The best part of starting the school year is hearing the voices of students in the halls and classrooms. Schools become schools when they are full of life, chaos, and curiosity. When this is missing they are just buildings
With great teachers as the cornerstone, technology and effective teacher training transforms the classroom, connecting students to a world which extends as curiosity and imagination will take them.
Replacing a teacher with technology will yield the same results as replacing an artist with a paint brush. Great teaching is the cornerstone of great education.
