Computer Illogic?

The San Francisco Chronicle has a thought provoking piece suggesting that technology is "dumbing down" the classroom particularly in the primary grades. And there's an interesting and heated discussion of the article over at Slashdot.

This graf from the Chronicle article is apropos:

At ExploreLearning, of course, we are trying our best to help eliminate those "weak spots" in the technology based math curriculum teachers have available.
