Can't You See It? Teachers For Technology. Now, Not Tomorrow.
What Is Your School Doing About It? Lip Service or The Real Deal?
A Vision of 21st Century Teachers
A Vision of 21st Century Teachers
This 4 minute video below may give some of us a wake-up call about how we are (or more likely, aren't) using technology in our classrooms. It's a vision by teachers.
- The next time parents or teachers lament about the lack of writing skills in the classrooms, we should be asking: Are the students writing daily blogs, contributing to a class wiki, or creating a multi-media presentation?
- How are teachers being supported by the school to develop their tech competency?
- Are teachers aware of the various ways of using Google Apps, Utube, Flickr, etc.?
- Are teachers being trained to utilize these tech tools and being supported by the administration? (ie. blogs and/or wikis are not complicated - students can be often be the "source" of the training )
- Is technology deemed not part of the curriculum? (ie. instead of being viewed as a tool, is it perceived to be another "subject" ??!!!)
- Are teachers finding resources and sharing with others?
