Chapter 13. It Takes Some Getting Used To: Rethinking Curriculum for the 21st Century

by Arthur L. Costa and Bena Kallick

Bena bought a new car. It has some gadgets that her old one didn't have. To put it in "park," for example, she has to press a button on top of the gear lever. That's not like the procedure she used in the old car, where she advanced the gearshift to the "P" in the farthest forward position. "I can do it, but it takes some getting used to," she sighs.

Marie has an interactive whiteboard in her 4th grade classroom. She always projects her PowerPoint presentations to students with an LCD projector. Now she can get on the Internet as well as make her PowerPoint presentations. "But," she says, "it takes some getting used to."
