TK Tech Blog

I offer the following to generate thoughts/discussion.

I do realize that I am sending this to too broad an audience, i.e. the question that I pose is not meant for all grades or all curriculums, but, I would suggest that if the question makes you uncomfortable in any manner it probably should be considered directed at you.

It is not the intent of this question to offend, nor should it be construed as an attack, or as an indictment of existing teaching techniques/approaches.  Maybe you should think of it as rhetorical, but then again, maybe you shouldn’t.  My intent is to generate discussion, and just maybe, to change the way some  approach teaching.

Here’s the situation.  Yesterday was a snow day.  Did you lose an instructional day with your students?

  In light of the available technologies, should you have lost an instructional day?

If you wish to respond, you can either;

1.       Reply sender.  I do not wish to clog mailboxes with discussion that may not interest some, or

2.       Help me make this a public discussion by posting your response(s) on the Tech Blog.

I would also ask that if you respond you don’t rationalize what you are currently doing as a reason for not doing this.  Not the point of the question.

I would also request that you not take the position that not enough of your students have access to technology.  In my opinion, that’s a canard.

I promise that I will respectfully reply to anyone who takes the time to share their thoughts with me on this.  (yes I am very interested and look forward to your thoughts.)

I am hoping that the results of this discussion will assist the technology department in supporting your curricular needs.
