New and Old Learning Tools

I was at a workshop today on school funding. The learning tools available to me were some old favorites - coffee, pen, and paper. But I also received a clicker where electronically I could respond to questions asked by the presenter. The presenter then could give a sense in real time if those listening were learning or if he needed to reteach. It led me to wonder how can Grand Ledge begin to harness technology to ensure that students will learn? This particular technology is not new but it is not prevalent (yet) in schools. It did make me think about how we can and should integrate and use technology to help students learn.
