Texas school superintendants report that lays out goals for significant change including more local control and tapping into digital natives' use of personal technology.
Why haven’t we put online, putting the best pedagogical practices, instructional content that we say what every kid must learn? Why can’t we provide this for free in 5 years to every child, parent, teacher in the State of Texas?
That info may be on the TEA web site but is impossible to find.
What if we created a wiki that allowed you guys to share this stuff with each other, that had a good way to rate content? Make it easy to search, use, etc….you’re not going to do a lot of things. The practical utility of a wiki that makes lesson planning, reduces workload for a teacher…at a modest investment, the State could create and unleash the thousands of flowers blooming.
