The document discusses how technologies should be used as tools to enhance learning rather than seeing the technologies themselves as the focus of learning. It provides several examples of how technologies can be used to ease tasks like editing, gather information, provide access to resources, experts, and simulations. The document emphasizes that technologies should be chosen based on allowing choice, different learning styles, and assessing learning throughout with the goal of opening minds rather than just covering content.

42. What is a teacher? A guide, not a guard. What is learning? A journey, not a destination. What is discovery? Questioning the answers. What is the process? Discovering ideas, not covering content. What is the goal? Open minds, not closed issues. What is the test? Being and becoming, not remembering and reviewing. What is school? Whatever we choose to make it. By Rod Frank, for Gail Lovely
