Teacher-centered or student-centered classrooms

I would like to write about this, but someone beat me to it and probably did it better than I could. Here's the quote I saw in an email I receive periodically from Tech and Learning. Click on the text to see the whole article.

When it comes to technology, a teacher who believes in the teacher-centered classroom thinks of computers as a source of remediation, an electronic tutor providing programmed instruction. In essence, the student is learning "from the computer." On the other hand, for a teacher who believes in the student-centered classroom, the computer becomes a cognitive tool with which the students construct their own knowledge.  —Gary Shattuck, CIO Advisor I couldn't agree more. . . .
