 * COURSE GOALS**

//our view -// Cuban's book makes the reader think carefully about school reform movements and how they really relate to linking students and subject matter. Cuban argues that reformers who are advocates of increased technology in schools are making a dangerous and costly assumption without research and facts to back up their beliefs. Cuban argues that more technology may not equal better learning. Whether we agree with Cuban's assertion or not, we can analyze his study of schools and use his experiences to examine our own assumptions about how changes in our teaching practices really effect student learning.
