Technology (web 2.0) in education

Here is a little article from the New York Times regarding the use of technology in the classroom.
It is weird that they miss the whole point of Web 2.0. They first of all classify the kids off like farm animals as the statisticians like to do white, black, poor and not so poor. They also talk in cursory about Math drills and how students can use technology in a perfunctory.

It miss the whole collaborative aspects, the exploration of one's own interests to enhance learning and the potentially meaningful integration of such tools into curriculum. It is not a cut and dry tool, it is an environment and an educational experience.

Interesting NYT, but think ya missed the point ;)
