Most students would rather learn with technology based studies instead of the old school pencil and paper way. But as an educator it is hard to find time to learn all the new ways to integrate technology into our classes. We must feel comfortable using it ourselves in order to incorporate in to our lessons. Technology is a powerful way to capture the talents of our diverse student poulation and bring them together as a community. With our society and the work force changing with great speed our states and school districts need to take time to be sure the staff and equipment are up to date. I know from experience that some staff developments are rushed through without proper time for the educators to become comfortable enough to incorporate them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7029419017923677229.post-91473153886084229182009-09-02T22:03:37.827-04:002009-09-02T22:03:37.827-04:00Well... you're kind of jumping far afield from...Well... you're kind of jumping far afield from the original question of teaching social media.Tom Hoffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08577165613934129833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7029419017923677229.post-86917371795166790372009-09-02T20:46:26.429-04:002009-09-02T20:46:26.429-04:00It is kind of crazy to think about how education i...It is kind of crazy to think about how education is decades behind the job market. Is this why people have to continually go back to school? I really worry for my students, who often do not own a computer, and when they do use one for anything besides games or drill & practice software, it's in my lab once a week for 45 minutes.<br /><br />If we asked teachers what kinds of jobs their non-teacher friends have and how they use technology in their jobs, the need for tech integration and education would be obvious.<br /><br />P.S. You inspired me to go paperless in my tech help requests. All requests must be made using a Google Doc Form. I told the staff I was 'going paperless.'mshertzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02995665815087186953noreply@blogger.com
