eSchool News online has posted an informative article focusing on the Academy of Information Technology and Engineering in Stamford, Connecticut. The article provides a glimpse of some of the possibilities of how a school might look when approached in an intentional fashion. Here is my favorite quote from the article:
Though the technology is a big draw for many AITE students, Gross and his staff are adamant in their belief that computers are just a tool–one that, when used judiciously, can go a long way in readying students for life and work in the 21st century, but a tool nonetheless. For these resources to be used effectively, teachers and students must understand the point at which sound instruction and technology meet.
