It's not about the technology

Kelly Hines blog about technology and how there are far more important concerns that much come first when it comes to teaching is a great blog. I have had way too many teachers that seem to be in too much of a comfort zone when it came to teaching. By that I mean they seemed like they had the same exact routine for a number of years and had no intent of changing. Students change over the years and I think it is the teachers job to adapt to their students, not the other way around.
Technology is clearly going to be a big factor when it comes to teaching students, but the most important part about teaching will always be the teacher. I think just because a teacher can graduate from college just not mean that they are set for life. Teachers just be evaluated every so often to make sure they are still capable of being an effective teacher.

  1. How right you are: "I think just because a teacher can graduate from college just not mean that they are set for life. Teachers just be evaluated every so often to make sure they are still capable of being an effective teacher." But there are many brick walls that impede this goal!
