content: I would agree with you for the most part. My wife is a high school teacher and they have one of the best IT initiatives in the state, but she hates how much of a push there is on using it in the classroom. For this study, they monitored places where teachers had access to good technology and the training to use it.  The problem in classrooms is that we keep mixing up the tools we have for teaching (which is great and necessary), but not so much our methods of teaching. Most teachers still go by the "I'll lecture, you take notes" method, which has been shown time and time again to be wildly ineffective, especially at earlier grade levels. The theory of multiple intelligences has been around for years and when used in classrooms, has shown to be effective, especially for reaching at-risk students, but still many teachers aren't coached on valuable ways to employ this in their classroom.
