Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes.
--E. W. Dijkstra
 

"A 1996 poll of US teachers found that they ranked computer skills and media technology as more 'essential' than the study of European history, biology, chemistry, and physics; than dealing with social problems such as drugs and family breakdown; than learning practical job skills; and than reading modern American writers such as Steinbeck and Hemmingway or classic ones such as Plato and Shakespeare."
-The Atlantic Monthly, July 1997

A library is where you go to find facts. The web is more like a garage sale: it's possible you'll find what you want, but only with a lot of digging, searching, and wading through things that smell funny.

"Kids are the best ... you can teach them to hate the things you hate, and they practically raise themselves what with the Internet and all."

Philosophy of Technology in Education

Technology has become an integral part of our society, and with these growing changes, our students must be prepared to embrace these new ideas in order to be successful.  As educators, it is our job to be informed of what is available and what students should be learning.  By integrating technology throughout the curriculum, we are supplying students with the opportunity to compete in a society that has become increasingly advanced.  It also promotes further understanding of concepts throughout the curriculum by opening doors that may not have been available without using technology's vast resources.  Computers have allowed schools to progress at a much more rapid pace then they have done in the past.  It is essential that educators allow for these changes to take place and continue their education to better instruct their studens.
