This really resonated with me today, as I had just been speaking with our company’s professional & customer services manager. A former teacher, her role is to help teachers integrate technology into their teaching, and through our web-delivered curriculum. She was noting that sometimes teachers feel overwhelmed by those very smart kids who seem to know more about the technology than they do. But her reply is always that it’s ok to not know it all, even as the teacher. The point is to keep taking steps forward, and always learning. That’s the sign of a great teacher.

I agree the choices are wide open on the toolbox and who knows what tools are going to survive the construction process?
Good Job!

Our consortium works with thirty-eight school districts as an online learning community. Some of our schools are moving to 1-to-1 solutions. Some are looking at netbooks and tablets. I have made it a point to visit tablet vendors with one essential question: “Does this tablet have the capacity to do everything a laptop does?” So far the answer in each case has been, “No.” Until tablets are more than consumption tools, I think they should not be considered as replacements for laptops or even netbooks. A comprehensive portable tool should be able to enable students to produce as well as to consume. A student should be able to use a tablet to write a comprehensive research paper or lab report with documented references, supplemented by embedded links, supported with other media like PPT presentations, audio files and video clips. I used a netbook as my primary computer for two years. It performed admirably. The tablet is not there yet – not even “almost there.”
