In moving from theory to practice, what does the use of technology look like as teachers enact a provincial curriculum that promotes a constructivist

“Technology is a broad concept that deals with an animal species' usage and knowledge of tools and crafts, and how it affects an animal species' ability to control and adapt to its environment.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology

It has always been my belief that students learn best when they engaged and using manipulatives or moving from theory to practice. My students have always remembered the times they either travelled to Saskatoon to see a play written by a playwright that they studied in their English Language Arts 20 class or made a fire in the forest behind the school to cook bannock on a stick in Food Studies 30 after studying the best way to cook bannock. The use of technology is going to be a great asset in our schools. Teachers have to realize the importance in their classroom as well as the school boards and all funding agencies that may be called upon for financial assistance. The biggest gain for the students will be the fact that they will be given opportunities to make choices and hopefully take interest in their own learning and their abilities.
