Is Your Child Learning What He/She Needs to Know? -francine hardaway, Always On
....After all these years, the team of activists with whom I'm working have decided that incremental reform at the margins isn't enough: what is necessary is complete systemic overhaul. And that's NOT the disintermediation of the teacher through technology. Rather, it's the liberation of the teacher from lecturing, grading, and paperwork to enable him/her to interact on a 1:1 basis with a student to promote learning at the student's own pace. It's our belief that eLearning transforms the teacher into a Socratic tutor, who can help propel students to mastery of whatever the teacher and society deems is the appropriate curriculum.
