I have posted your IF question replies on my Byte Speed site to stimulate the conversation over there as well. Perhaps there will be some cross pollination...<br />

which brings up this IF question:<br />
<br />
If we really value ed tech, why don;t we fund it so that all kids have access to everything that educators deem important?

If we want teachers to truly integrate technology into their curriculum, classrooms and way of doing business, why don't they have more input in what technologies are appropriate for what they teach rather than what they are trained in being dictated by someone else?<br />
<br />
Why aren't teachers who use technology already given more input in training their peers? Don't they know best what works?<br />

If we want teachers to truly integrate technology into their curriculum, classrooms and way of doing business, why don't they have more input in what technologies are appropriate for what they teach rather than what they are trained in being dictated by someone else?<br />

Why aren't teachers who use technology already given more input in training their peers? Don't they know best what works?<br />
<br />
Why do we normally only hear about or see technology purchased for core subjects, but expect all of our teachers to integrate it?<br />
<br />
How can we train teachers to use technology to enhance their classes without expecting them to spend more time on learning how to use or teaching the technology to their students than on their content area?<br />
<br />
Why isn't more campus or district intiated tech training differentiated so that we can meet the needs of the adult learners rather than only targeting the lower to middle areas of their proficiency spectrum?<br />
<br />
And a really, really hard question...<br />
<br />
With all the web 2.0 resources out there, why are we still so dependent on poorly created power point presentations? I just saw a TERRIBLE one today.<br />
<br />
Why aren't more teachers taught design principles so that they are current in 21st century skills as well?<br />
<br />
I know it sounds like I am venting, but I am glad you brought up this topic.
