what should we be learning?
there is no reason to mandate learning styles
traditional:
dictated curriculum
dictated learning styles
dictated instructional approaches
dictated pace

Students aren't engaged because we don't have standards - this movement has driven more students out of school.
21st Century:
Personalized
Global
Virtual

Where technology can help
Curriculum
Instruction
Student voice

We don't teach how to be critics - anonymity is important at times
technology can keep from teaching to the middle by assisting with personalization.
Reflect on fragmentation in your teaching process.
