Today I read a post from Will Richardson's Weblogg-ed which I feel is a must read for anyone involved in education. The following are a few of the important questions that Will asks in his post - I Don’t Need Your Network (or Your Computer, or Your Tech Plan, or Your…). :
- If at some point in the fairly near future just about every high school kid is going to have a device that connects to the Internet, how much longer can we ask them to stuff it in their lockers at the beginning of the day?
- How are we going to have to rethink the idea that we have to provide our kids a connection? Can we even somewhat get our brains around the idea of letting them use their own?
- At what point do we get out of the business of troubleshooting and fixing technology? Isn’t “fixing your own stuff” a 21st Century skill?
- How are we helping our teachers understand the potentials of phones and all of these shifts in general?
I encourage you to read the entire post and comment!
