The What

I am thinking about what technology should be doing for our teaching, our learning and our relationships. We should be able to get so much deeper, faster, because all of the surface level information is right at our fingertips. And yet, we don't. Why?
Having everything, from content knowledge to what our neighbor is making for dinner, readily available, every second of the day, has made the surface level assumed. Why don't we take the time, then, to learn more, make more connections, and synthesize information? Does this knowledge, served on a silver platter, make us lazy? Do we over-rely on the reference resources available- not ever making the learning permanent?

I want to learn how to use technology to deepen students' understanding of concepts presented. Skimming the surface should no longer be an expected outcome of using technological resources.
