C4T #1

For my first C4T, I read David Warlick's blog post titled Our Greatest Missed Opportunity? In this post Warlick discussed an article that described a project done in the 1980s at Chapel Hill-Carrboro Schools in North Carolina. I read the article and it was indeed interesting.  The article was about a project Chapel Hill-Carrboro began in the 1980s.  This project was to teach the students how to use computers and become technologically literate.  The students created their own curriculum and made all of the decisions regarding the class.  This article also discussed how much technology should be allowed in the classroom, a debate that is still heavily discussed today.  The article was insightful and I do think that Warlick could very well argue this was a great missed opportunity.
