The Medium is the Message

Students today have a wide range of technology available to them from which to learn. As educators, do we use the technology to its potential? I heard a trainer say that she teaches to the iPod generation from an 8-track perspective, a statement that is true for many educators. Because of the power of the media, culture and diversity need to be an intrinsic part of design and planning.
State Technology Report from Education Week grades states on access, use and capacity and then generates an overall grade for each state. In the MEAC four state region, Kansas came out on top with and overall grade of B-, with A- in access and C in capacity. Iowa and Nebraska both received a C; Iowa’s best was a B- in capacity with a D+ in use and Nebraska’s best was a B+ in access with a D+ in use. Missouri received a C-, with Cs in both access and capacity and a D+ in use. For the complete report, go to www.edweek.org/rc.
