PBS Frontline Special

This 9 minute-clip describes the use of technology at suburban Chatham H.S. (NJ). Their integration of technology definitely outpaces the Grosse Pointe high schools, but the clip also shows some disturbing trends, including students who honestly can’t remember the last book they have read (why read, when you can Sparknote). The clip is very thought-provoking and correlates well with much of the information we have read recently.

After viewing the clip, please feel free to share any relevant comments as it relates to our technology plan.
