Thing #1B stretch

What if?

All the books combusted. We need more information that our school had.

What if a student was so interested in a topic, and we could not help them?

What if…..?

Our time is here and our time is now. We must embrace technology and start using what we have and keep pushing for more. How can we say we want to teach if we don’t want to learn ourselves. Our goal as people in a society should be to learn something new everyday. If we don’t we can never prepare our students to be all that they can be or need to be for a successful life. Our students here in 2009 will be performing jobs that don’t even exist yet but are on the edge of reality as we no it.

I want to catch up to where I am at the best position to force my students into the reality of what they will have to accomplish just to be able to survive.

There was a time when a Bachelors degree was enough, but now if we do not educate ourselves, we miss the boat on what the students of tomorrow and beyond need.

    I love it! We have teachers at our school who hate technology and have made it to where we can't use it. I completely agree with you. Not only are we going to get left behind if we don't use the technology we have now, but our students are going to get left behind.
