Where does high school fit in the move towards more technology?

Marc Prensky's article "Adopt and Adapt: Shaping Tech for the Classroom 21st-century schools need 21st-century technology" http://www.edutopia.org/adopt-and-adapt, brushes upon a few items that I have thought quite a bit about over the past week. The four step process of dabbling; doing old things in old ways, doing old things in new ways, and then doing new things in new ways seems to find its grass roots in elementary and middle school education. Since changing from the high school to the middle school this past year, I have noticed a significant change in the amount of technology I am using in my classroom and that my students expect and wish to be exposed to on an everyday basis. Why is this? Why am I sitting in a room full educators and the majority of my colleagues are from the middle or elementary grades? Is the high school so bogged down by curriculum that there isn't time to incorporate the technology? In general, is the high school the last to change because they are the most resistant to change? The high schools that I have taught at over the years do not fit this bill regarding a resistance to change, but flexibility may be at the heart of the matter. As a high school teacher, I have never felt more of a rush to get through a given curriculum. Technology initially takes time away from content until all users have similar backgrounds and knowledge of the tools available to them. In an elementary school setting, we know where their starting point begins. But as students progress through the educational system, their comfort level in terms of technology can range from novice to expert in the same class. In an international school, students come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences that become harder to predict. By the time a student reaches high school, a teacher can not begin with technology 101, nor can the teacher assume that every student knows how to create their own blog or wiki. At least not yet; but what happens when they do? Will higher education be able to keep up with what is coming its way? Will IB change its policy to allow computers for writing assignments? Or will all of this technology stand still while our students progress through the works of Shakespeare and Advanced Biology? The more I learn, the more questions I have not just about who I am, but who I would like to become. The same can be said for my students. What do I want for them and what is the best way to get them there? I am still searching for the answers.
