Ms Hines was right on the money. You can have all the technology in the world, if you don't have a teacher who is willing to embrace it,you're just whistling dixie. So many people in the US forget that our teaching system has stood by for years, and watch technology catch us, pass us by, and then leave us.
Its kinda like" I cant see the forest for the trees" syndrome. Ms. Hines is only posting what most of us already know and fear. Our teaching system is broken and every teaching system in the US, is willing to stand by, and watch it crash and burn. Thats my opinion anyway.
To make a short story long, i feel that the way we educate our teachers should be changed. Instead of teaching us what to teach, they need to teach us how to teach. There is an old saying " you keep doing what you're doing, and you'll keep getting the same results. Thats what Dr.Hines, in my opinion, is so tactfully trying to convey.
Woodie,
ReplyDeleteYou make some great points. Upcoming teachers need to be taught how to properly incorporate technology into the classroom. Instead of focusing mainly on the curriculum, teachers do need to know how to teach a new generation. Change is sometimes difficult, but it is necessary in order to afford new and better results in our school systems.
