Arapahoe High School recently began to offer wireless Internet access to students who owned their own wireless devices. This decision was being questioned so Karl Fisch was asked to write response in the schools newsletter. He said the Internet offers the students a chance to look at their grades, teacher web pages and electronic databases or reference tools.
The Internet offers a wealth of information. Learning occurs outside the classroom, if it did not then what would be the point of homework?! We live in a technology-driven world that is constantly changing so we have to learn to change with it. Our world is constantly connected thanks to the Internet. Fisch said, "Technology is not the goal, but rather it is the enabler that allows us to achieve our goals." The Internet allows the students to be creative, collaborative and connected.
