The No Child Left Behind initiative has left behind authentic learning. Understanding the difference between these two approaches can help not only test scores, but help the student learn to become a life-long learner.
How boring! How frustrating as a learner! Life has too many disconnected facts and information as it is! The learner, while maybe not realizing it, is craving substance!
By providing the student with technology in the class room, the student can open doors leading to more and more. The quest has begun, the teacher has stated the focus of inquiry and the desired result, it has been shown, will stick with the learner and foster other avenues of investigation and the resulting interaction and cooperation with others.
Otherwise, learning is just passing the “squares” of grade levels simply by rote learning. We want to teach the students to become learners for the rest of their lives!
No Child Left Behind? No learner left with no memory of last year’s experiences!!!! Bonus: grade scores come up with an integrated approach using technology in the classroom!

Gone are the days of keys found in the back of the book: every odd answer is given. Students memorize, infer as much as they can to solve the even problems, bells rings, they’re out the door! The approach of Student-centered learning supports the newly established “habit”, it is hoped, that learning will continue the rest of their lives.
