KOG's Question

With technology, students can create projects beyond the confines of the classroom (or the computer lab), would be effective for students to engage in "inter-class" projects or have groups that span across different sections?

What could be the added value of these tasks/endeavors?

What would be the biggest disadvantages of such projects?

New technology = new curriculum?

The use of technology, especially the use of Web 2.0, presents a shift in the way that students treat knowledge and in the relationship between teachers and students. As was mentioned, no longer are the facts and theories that make up our content as sacrosanct as they once were.

Does the increased use of technology in the classroom, and the increasingly widespread use of technology in the world in general, mean that our curricular standards and assessments will also have to change?

How are other schools changing their curriculum in light of these changes?
