One thing that I think we need to keep in mind about Technology Integration is that it is true, the kids probably know more about using a computer than we adults know. However, do the kids actually know how to learn with a computer? I believe the answer to this is No. Using a device is not the same as actually learning with a device.
Kids today know how to Google pretty much everything, but they don't necessarily retain what they have searched. This in turn is not what I find to be "True Learning". It's learning on the fly for that moment, unless they take what they searched and actually put it into practice.
I found the following article about student centered classrooms from edweek.org, and I really felt this article gave me a lot to think about. 5 Ways to Make Your Classroom Student Centered
I think if students are given a project without specific requirements, they will need to have goals and objectives for their project to help them measure and hold themselves accountable.
