Why, then, should educators consider some of the current predictions of developments in digital technologies?
If educators are to shape the future of education) and not have it shaped for them by external technical developments) it is crucial that we engaged with developments in digital technologies at the earliest stages. We need to understand how best we might harness these changes. Without this early engagement we risk, as always being the Cinderella sector of the technology world - constantly receiving the hand-me-downs from the business, defence and leisure industries and then trying to repurpose them for educational goals. Withouth this early engagement, we also risk designing educational practies and approaches that will be rendered obsolte and anachronistic in the context of new human-technology capabilities." -

Miss Cal.Q.L8: Courageous Online But Still Cowardly Lion

Who does she think she is? I bet the administration has her on their side. She thinks she can do anything because she's young. New teachers with all their _______. She thinks she can change the school. Is it evaluation time already?

I can have success at the same time that others around me are succeeding.

Courageous Online But Still Cowardly Lion in my School | Blogush

My current schools “worst” kids would have been the honor roll students at my first school.

there had to be another way to teach kids beside coming up with tricks to make them be quiet and listen to me. There had to be a way to engage them and empower them. A way to “manage” them without disrespecting them and without treating them like they were peons. I didn’t know what I wanted to do but I knew that everyone around me wasn’t doing it. I didn’t need to ask folks how to manage class with coercive rules or make kids study for a test. That is not what I wanted to know so I never asked anyone for help.
