How many of us practice what we preach? Do you create videos to share with others? Do you podcast? Have you used Whiteboard or some other collaboration tool? Do you blog on a regular basis and have a network? Is technology a part of your life outside of school? Working with these tools is more than just using them in the classroom. As new things evolve, are we looking at ways to incorporate?
But how can you spend a YEAR trying out a new tool !!!!
take mindmeister ( google it ) Used it in Physics classes. found it wednesday last; used it in class thursday, these kids can't wait a year !!
Blogging in itself is not essential, what is: is keeping learning at the heart of the agenda
and not letting the shiny lights dazzle us
If you think you guys have issues with reluctant staff, try working in the UK !!!!
If we want to be outstanding educators we all have to take risks with no fear (gulp)
