Is Google Making Us Stupid? - 0 views

  • hen the Net absorbs a medium, that medium is re-created in the Net’s image. It injects the medium’s content with hyperlinks, blinking ads, and other digital gewgaws, and it surrounds the content with the content of all the other media it has absorbed.

  • Consider letting students create teacher PD as part of their technology education program.
  • Move towards a model of embedded professional development.  Binge professional development that happens in one day rarely creates sustainable, system wide change.  Move toward embedded programs like the 23 things that involve teachers in their own pd and requires them to research, reflect, and use the tools.
