Dave Truss's Profile

My big push at the moment is to do with information literacy. Technology integration doesn’t work in so many classrooms because teachers are not adapting to what is available to their students. Yes they copy/paste from Wikipedia - because they usually aren’t being given authentic learning tasks which require them to think about information. Until technology use moves away from “going to the computer room” and becomes integrated into everyday use many teachers are not going to learn this (that and there is still in my experience very little professional development available in this field). I am sure this is nothing new to you! However, this is where my thinking is coming from.

Once bullying is successful it rapidly becomes a habit — neurons that fire together, wire together — address it when it begins.
