Process vs. Knowledge

Below is a link to a very interesting article that poses thought-provoking questions with regard to how technology is transforming the focus of education. The author asks "As technology translates more of our learning world, what if what our students really need to know is decidedly different from what it used to be?" Should schools still focus on presenting students with knowledge and facts that are often forgotten, or should schools place more emphasis on familiarizing students with the processes and tools to solve problems they encounter? Can schools find a balance between the two? What do you think?
