What a gift we were given today in our bloggers group. Free time to write. Rick’s presentations have been great, so much to think about. I just feel like I’ve often short changed myself and the group by not spending enough time on my blog. Maybe when I get my laptop the whole process will seem easier to do (hear that Kevin?)
Saw a timely comic strip in Doonesbury this Sunday. University lecture hall, all students on their laptops, networking, facebooking, emailing, etc. Factual answers to questions from the professor (who was probably standing in front of a chalkboard, chalk in hand) instantly obtained on-line. Reminded me so much of the video we saw last week from teacher.tube. As educators it is time for us to get on board and take into consideration how students are “learning” today. I have been at this so long I often feel like a dinosaur. There is so much out there for the students to access. Education has got to move forward with the times. I wish I were twenty years younger so that I could experience all that is coming in this great field in which we participate.
