Can we really teach old dogs new tricks? I suppose the answer to that question depends mainly upon the old dog itself. In this article, the old dogs are those folks who are a “generation of thrift-minded educators” (O, Brien, Scharber) who feel technology is too expensive to integrate into our schools. However, according to the article, it costs more to waste the free tools on the Web than not using them. If these old dogs would embrace the integration of many technologies, we could move from stagnant to explosive in educating our students.
