  literacy rant teacher technology training

  • Teachers are special.  They are smart, resourceful, incredibly accomplished, and they work miracles — they make a difference.  They influence so many lives and they are revered.  It’s clear.  How can we treat them with anything but awe and respect
  • “..someone told me they didn’t want to learn one more new thing, they didn’t like new things..“  I would want to ask, “You call yourself a teacher?”  Who more than teachers should be willing and eager to learn new things?

  What a post! What a rich conversation through the comments. We could spend a year's worth of "instructional technology advisory council" and "curriculum council" meetings discussing the various rivers running through...

  • For several years, many of us have been trying to make a case for thinking about education in new ways, largely as a result of technological advancements and their affects on how we use information.  I think that many education leaders are listening now.  I think that they are ready for clear images and stories about 21st century classrooms and what teachers and students should be doing to better prepare a generation of new century citizens.
  • I almost lost it when I read, in Cheryl Oats’ comment, “..someone told me they didn’t want to learn one more new thing, they didn’t like new things..“  I would want to ask, “You call yourself a teacher?”  Who more than teachers should be willing and eager to learn new things?

  David Warlick rants about teachers who are too afraid to even try to learn new technology. He also talks about creating concrete applications for technology--not just thinking about how education should change, but doing something about it.

  David Warlick mentions how Prensky's idea of immigrants and natives can be problematic if teachers use it as an excuse not to "learn anything new."
