I cannot believe how rapidly technological growth is affecting education today. I still can't wrap my mind around the fact that we need to instruct students to think about problems that don't even exist yet!
I find that most in-service programs leave me with the feeling of how much I don't know. I work at St. Mark's; a high school that is well above the curve in regards to technology compared to many schools with which I have interaction.

definition: concurrent: electricity in a jail cell
Reading these annonymous comments is interesting. But when do we talk face to face? Seems we're getting isolated . . .
Again, as in my previous post, what are we supposed to be teaching the kids? Anything? What about the real world of SATs?
I think kids in 3rd world countries need to worry about getting electricity before getting computers.
It's so nice!
I think we need to teach the basics to kids before we teach them advancements in technology - some cannot even write complete sentences

When using technology complete sentences are irrelevant
how about cursive?
Most of our students live in second life and text message and im and really will have no need for antiquated communication skill sets
what is cursive?
yet when they go enter the professional world, no corporate report is written in IM
