Cheating or Learning, Computers In the Classroom

I watched an NBC newstory lastweek about computers in the classroom. I believe it was called, "cheating or learning". The students were using the computers to take exams. If they did not know an answer, they had to look it up online.... this equated to Online Learning . I thought the idea was cool. I think I'll use it in my homeschooling. Some parents however, were outraged.

When I finished college some 15+ years ago, my boyfriend (now husband) said to me, 'now you have proven you can learn'. I didn't really appreiate the sentiment at the time, but years later I realized he was right. All I had really accomplished in college was to prove I was intelligent to learn... really learn something.

I have continued to learn over the years. If I want to know something, I look it up... in the past 10 years or so, I have looked it up on my trusty computer. Why not teach the children these Homeschool Curriculum .
