Quote to guide today's educators

2013 promises to be a year of more changes in technology. Will it ever stop--I don't think so. This is never-ending field of change. How do we as educators provide the best education we can using the tech tools when they change so fast? Here is a quote I read recently in the Born in a Another Time, a recent report from the National Association of State Boards of Education. The quote is: “Do not confine your children to your own learning, for they were born in another time.” —Hebrew Proverb Wow--that says it all, doesn't it? We must move beyond our desks all in a row with the teacher at the front mentality. Students want to learn individually and technology makes that possible. We need to move into their time and see how they learn--then we can adjust how we teach to become more effective in delivering content.
