The thought of moving towards not using any textbooks at all was different for him, and a bit scarry, too. The idea of having the ability to pull information from different sites on the internet, organize them, share them, and use them for school work was "cool" in his opinion. Now that he has been exposed to the idea, he is eager to put it to use. Currently, he is working on a Science Fair project, and hopes to be able to try this out!<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for your posting and your video. They hav imspired both myself and my 8th grader!heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291590518131476051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21323592.post-58816943838319131762009-01-07T23:57:00.000-06:002009-01-07T23:57:00.000-06:00This posting was very imformative.

As a teacher taking graduate classes towards a Master's Degree in Technology in Education, I cannot agree with the content more. I also believe that educators should be making a committments to strive to stay abreast of the technological information available to them and to be able to present it in their classrooms. I also believe that stnagnancy will only hurt our students, as the rest of the world passes them by on the technology highway.<BR/><BR/>I a quite certain that it was John Dewey who said that "if we continue to teach students today the way we taught them yesterday, we rob them of tomorrow."<BR/><BR/>I have taught with several teachers who are so stuborn that they will not even attempt anything technological in their classrooms, because they have "done it this way for so long, and it's worked just fine. Why fix something that isn't broken?" We steal complete education from our students if we do not provide for them what the rest of the world has used, refined, improved, etc. for so many years. Google just celebrated 10 years, right? It's not going anywhere!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for a great post and a fantastic video!!!heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291590518131476051noreply@blogger.com
