Here's the argument: "We as educators have to shift from teaching students in subjects, to teaching students in skills." Why? "It is the human brain (and heart) that has to get behind the simple steps of a solution that lead into bigger things and the mathematical concepts behind them. And that's where an educator steps in, to have a conversation about skills and concepts." Honestly, that's not a very good argument all. There are good reasons to focus on skills rather than subjects (skills are practical, subjects aren't, for example). This isn't one of them. Worse, it seems to me to be pandering to teachers (as in, 'sure we do technology but we still need you, we really do').
