Thank you for your interesting collection of quotes. Tomorrow's argument is 
unimaginable and open to a endless number of opportunities! In the short time 
since I have left school -(well not so short) I have seen changes myself. In 
the classroom these days children havetraining in computers and this training 
is extending beyond 'computer lessons' across the other curriculum areas. I 
see this as a very positivething too. As I looked through your quotes I saw 
immense change but also a transition of gripes over very beneficial moves in 
classroom practice. By providing means thatallow students to more efficiently 
record and create information we are effectively providing more time and 
resources for the more important activities such as critical thinking, actual 
understanding and learning. The product the students use is secondary to the 
product they create. I think itsomewhat backward of those people who 
fantasise about the old days and learning the basics when the basics canso 
easily be achieved by more efficient practice and tools. I don't know what 
tomorrow's argument will be but I assume that it will reflect a very positive 
transition in the mere products that students useto learn and will lead to 
more time for constructive learning!!!! Do you agree?
