"Student work in schools has always faced the artificial barrier of being legitimate only within the confines of the classroom." (p.25) This quotes shows us how much the internet and new technologies have to offer to the ordinary classroom. It allows students to go beyond what they usually get in a classroom.
"Since students are leading the way in developing new models of communication, enthusiasts argue that it makes sense to let students take the lead in integrating new technologies into schools." (p.26) It is important for our students to know about the new technologies because in the future they are going to be the ones that are going to have to utilize them.
"Enthusiasts believe that technology creates real opportunities for students to improve their performance over time by building opportunity for reflection into learning environments." (p.27) I think that this passage shows that it is important for students to be engaged with the material from class and sometimes new technology is the way to keep the students engaged.
