Unlucky List: Raising Non-Technology Savvy Students

Check out the Unlucky List

Technology Teachers

You got to love this comic! One of my 486 students posted this on her blog and stated, "I feel like this comic depicts exactly the way many teachers feel- their technology skills and resources are much lower than their students experience and expectations. To help the poor, struggling, technology-deprived teacher to better suit her student, many Internet tools have been created to restore that understanding and accessibility of the classroom." She then went on to comment that she was enjoying learning about how to use various technology tools and was looking forward to learning more about implementing various technology tools in the classroom.

I was reminded of the quote I used in one of my earlier posts.
"The inventor of the system deserves to be ranked among the best contributors to learning and science, if not the greatest benefactors of mankind.” - Josiah F. Bumstead 1841 ...on the benefits of the chalkboard

Students Today

"Today's child is bewildered when he enters the 19th century environment that still characterizes the educational establishment where information is scarce, but ordered and structured by fragmented, classified patterns, subjects, and schedules.” - Marshall McLuhan 1967
