What Constitutes "Appropriate" Technology?

This question is easily bogged down in "what constitutes appropriate education?". But it is important to remember that speech, the printing press, and graphite on paper are often the appropriate choice.

The point is that, just as in our everyday lives working, playing, and learning involves a combination of technologies, we should expect to see a similar mixture work for education. What do you use when you need to learn something? The internet, the library, the yellow pages, a friend, a colleague, a computer, your brain, etc.

Our hope is to help people see, not how they can use a computer to solve every problem in life, but how computational and communications technology fit into your problem solving arsenal.
