While some believe the earlier students become familiar with technology the greater their depth of understanding and effectiveness in using it will be; others feel that these skills can be learned in a year or two in high school.

Humans do not have the ability to really understand something until we actually experience it and have that “aha” moment that creates a concrete neurological pathway in our brains. As experiences happen and new information is presented, new schemas are developed and old schemas are changed or modified. Technology can be part of this process, but it cannot replace the authentic experience.
