It's not about technology

"Teachers must be learners."
"Learning and teaching is not the same."
"Technology is lost without good teaching."

I don't know what else to add to this as it is perfect.

Why give a $5,000 smart board to someone who isn't going to use it? Why use it for as presentation only? With that cash you could have bought 8 mac mini's and a couple of HD Video cameras. 30 classrooms means 240 computers that are state of the art and ready to go out of the box. Hook it up to your existing mouse, keyboard, and monitor and boom you have six computer labs and a mac in every room.

  1. You are absolutely right! I was amazed when the headlines of the Mobile paper proclaimed last month that Mobile had leaped into the 21st century with Smartboards. Really!
