Feeling overwhelmed by my situation, I began questioning my teaching practices and student…

Overby, Alexandra – Art Education, 2009
Why are students' personal lives immersed in technology, but their school experiences quite the opposite? Although computers and the Internet have been used steadily even before this generation of students was born, K-12 classrooms still operate in much the same fashion as 100 years ago. Educators give many reasons for not using the latest…
