David Warlick asks this question proposing that reform is unlikely because resources are selected by teachers and schools rather than by students.
I wonder. I think he is probably wrong even when inferring something about student use of technology. The challenge I think we face is to get students to reconceptualize technology as a tool for learning rather than entertainment. I am not convinced these are the same things and many future educators my wife and I work with seemed puzzled when we ask about applying tools/services students are familiar with to unfamiliar applications.
