    "First, let me thank you for entrusting me with teaching your children, honoring the amazing individuals they are, and helping them discover the confident and empowered young people they can be. Providing a rich and engaging environment for your children to learn in is my utmost concern, but Iately I have had to acknowledge that the young people I see every day do much of the learning that is important to them when they leave the parking lot and head home from school. Thus, I am writing to solicit your help."

  • In 2014, that's no longer a very good excuse for not leveraging technology to provide the best teaching as an educator. Using technology every day and being innovative aren't the same.

  • The web inculcates a follow your bliss approach to learning that seeps

      The real issue? What is the correct balance?
  • It’s not ruining what was; it’s simply moving on. We don’t write like the Romantics anymore, not because we can’t enjoy or appreciate what they write, but because that is simply not the world we live in.

  • Technology is the driving force behind most of the education innovation. It is impacting not only what we can do as educators, but it is also changing how we approach learning. These innovations may have not all reached the education journals yet, but they have been presented and are being discussed digitally and at great length in social media.
  • Information from technology may be easily accessed, but it is not yet a passive exercise. It requires effort and an ability to learn and adapt. These are skills that all educators have, but many may not always be willing to use. The status quo has not required educators to use these skills in a long time.
