Educators today have an incredible array of tools at their disposal to get information, collaborate, and ultimately help students know, understand, create, and learn.
But teachers are busy.
They are busy planning lessons, collaborating with teams, coaching sports, directing plays, sponsoring clubs, meeting in committees, filling out forms, building curriculum, learning new grade programs, communicating with parents, and TEACHING STUDENTS.
Which means that they don’t have time to keep up with the technology changing faster than the speed of creativity (shout out to Wes Fryer) . That’s why jobs like mine exist. It’s why we run PD sessions and why we send out HowTo’s and such.
And it’s why this blog exists. Because you have to get the message and the training out in as many ways as possible to ensure that it’s heard by as many people as possible.
So come back…it’s been awhile, but it’s time to get back on this. Read past posts on tags, podcasts, and RSS. Then come back and read future posts on blogs, Ning, Roxer, and Firefox add-ons.
And let’s bring Web 2.0 to the people, where it belongs.
