The NC website offers some really cool things. Their lesson plans are very useful, they combine history with sense of self, they have opportunities for creativity and interaction, they seem to provide for the teaching of the whole child. They are all very original and innovative. These lessons are available to everyone and you can develop and contribute your own ideas too. THE Journal has articles about new ideas like using video games to teach math and collaborating across cultures by having technological relationships with overseas students. They also have information about upcoming technological advances and events for example; corporate companies have incentive to bring technology into schools because they are then provided with tech-savvy employees for the future.
There are all kinds of softwares available and being developed to help with learning and aid in teaching, everything from reading comprehension to science experiments. I wounder where teachers will be in ten years, will it even be necessary? But if kids have to learn from a computer screen, won't that effect many who don't have the kind of learning style required? What will happen to hands on instruction and exploration?
