“One of the main strategies is to be certain we are preparing students to use technology strategically and capably. This is one of the ‘habits of mind’ that form the central tenets of the Common Core Standards (see http://corestandards.org). But there can be no 21st-century skills without a very high level of 20th- (or even 19th-) century skills. We should not chase fashionable technology at the expense of making certain that the education we deliver prepares students for a future that will not only contain many new refinements but will also make even greater demands on the skills we teach today.” (p. 145)
