What about WHY?

My friends and colleagues John Curry and Sandee Goetze have convinced me that blogging may be a worthwhile effort. Soooooo . . . . .  here we go. I will attempt to stay on focus – the question I deem to be most essential in the world of educational technology – Why?

WHY are our children engaging in difficult, challenging, and entertaining learning activities (such as Roller Coaster Tycoon) at home and then asked to complete a drill and kill worksheet at school?
