Mark Guy, a Science teacher at Macon Middle School, is learning along with his students. He is part of a 1:1 computer pilot initiative. Students complete his lessons and activities on the computer. His challenge is to make curriculum engaging and meaningful to students.
Muir (2001) showed that good learning experiences: involve hands-on, active work; adjust for differences in learning styles; make learning interesting; allow students to make choices; make connections to previous knowledge, the students lives, and the real world; and put learning into context.
