This is our hope. This is the faith that I go back to the South with. (Yes) With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith (Yes) we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. (Talk about it) With this faith (My Lord) we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day. [Applause] This will be the day, [Applause continues] this will be the day when all of God’s children (Yes) will be able to sing with new meaning:
My country, ’tis of thee, (Yes) sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim’s pride, (Yes) From every mountainside, let freedom ring!
And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true. So let freedom ring (Yes) from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania. (Yes. All right) Let freedom ring from the snow-capped Rockies of Colorado. (Well) Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California. (Yes) But not only that: Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia. (Yes) Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee. (Yes) Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi. [Applause] From every mountainside, [Applause] let freedom ring.
And when this happens, [Applause continues] when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, (Yes) we will be able to speed up that day when all of God’s children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual:
Free at last! (Yes) Free at last!
Thank God Almighty, we are free at last! [Applause] Martin L King, March on Washington,

Thinking About The Process
The Implications for Schooling:
The Intersection ofThree Essential Elements
– Teacher– Student – Content
Technology Changes the Relationships at the Point
of Intersection
Refocusing Learning Altering the Perception of the Role of Teacher Valuing Higher Order Thinking Skills Creating a Culture of Inquiry Appealing to Multiple Intelligences
Technology refocuses learning
…from the narrow notion
of a finite catalogue of information
to an expanding universe rich in knowledge, context and connections.
Technology alters theperception of
teacher…from the idea of teacher as holder of all knowledge
to the creation of a learning community consisting of members with more and less experience
Technology Values Higher Order Thinking
Skills
…by changing the task from gathering old information
to analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating essential questions and creating new knowledge
Technology Creates a Culture of Inquiry
…that encourages student cooperation by placing students in a
collaborative environment
Technology Appeals to a Variety of
Intelligences
…by allowing teachers to develop lesson strategies that utilize a broader range of pedagogies and appeal to a greater number of learning styles
Can Computers Really
Make a Difference?
YES!
