Situatued Learning vs. Current Learning

Wow...what we already have available to us versus what we are using in American classrooms. When I look at these things I begin to wonder once again why we are not using some of these things in the classroom. How long can we blame the lack of funding for education to not be able to utilize these tools? It gets me so frustrated to think that it is money...something so COMMON that keeps us from preparing our kids for life in the next century. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh...gets me so fired up!
