Gable uses a powerful analogy when she compares playing basketball
barefoot with teaching without technology. You COULD play without
shoes, but why would you want to, when there is a tool that would allow
you to grow, expand, soar higher and further than without it? The sport
of Basketball is NOT about the shoes… Teaching and learning is not
about technology!
"Last week while talking to our youngest son,( a Surveying Engineer working on surveying a gas line on the east coast), he was telling me how he purchased an ipad for his personal use, then when he began "playing around" with it, something changed and finally, he was excited that this was going to end up being a tool he could use at work."
