I am glad that early teachers who still attend their own school get plently of technology training, as well as many other subjects. One big problem that I see is how many older teachers do not know how to properly use the technology. Schools should give more technology workshops to help teachers who do not have access to higher education.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13081726149769704863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7029419017923677229.post-48126664201973505992009-10-02T11:03:13.571-04:002009-10-02T11:03:13.571-04:00I agree with Lynn, that line stuck out for me as w...I agree with Lynn, that line stuck out for me as well!

"...The line that stikes me most here is this... "Because we need our teachers to understand that it's not about 'using tech', but rather is about fully engaging in the reality of the 21st century"<br /><br />It's not just teachers who need to understand this but also adminsitrators and parents. The latest piece of hardware isn't what makes learning more engaging - it's how the teacher (and the students, parents and administrators) embrace the access that technology gives students.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to future posts about this class.dlfultonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16861953081074279320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7029419017923677229.post-5672615229910917512009-10-02T08:20:58.321-04:002009-10-02T08:20:58.321-04:00I think it's great that more teachers are fina...I think it's great that more teachers are finally embracing technology to reach students. An idea would be to set online homework, where kids type their answers in forms that get sent to you. Because it's on the web, you are able to provide instantaneous feedback, almost immediately after the work has been submitted. I find that the faster the teacher responds, the more motivation there is for the subject at hand.Ingridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09109344838368177429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7029419017923677229.post-35575172105925599422009-10-01T22:40:40.504-04:002009-10-01T22:40:40.504-04:00Thanks for sharing the progress of this group of t...Thanks for sharing the progress of this group of teachers - it is wonderful to watch!<br /><br />If you have a minute, could take a look at LiveBinders - a paperless 3-ring binder? We have some teachers sharing some great information in their binders on http://www.livebinders.com<br /><br />But most importantly, we are trying to get some feedback on the concept and would welcome your thoughts.<br /><br />Love the work that you are doing - we would like to help.Barbarahttp://www.livebinders.comnoreply@blogger.com
