Worth reading... makes some great points. Thanks.

I can't think of any educational problems that were the result of "not enough technology."

You want to teach kids to write phone apps, you need tech.

And I'm real tired of marbles, pool balls, and ramps. Or using styrofoam cups as calorimeters. You don't need high tech, but there's a limit to what you can do with the level of tech you can get at Sam's Club for $100 for 150 students.

I think my mind instantly went to CBT since we're stuck with that at work, and I hate not having a teacher to ask questions to

Thanks Bill

Why bust you ass when there will be no jobs because they were shipped overseas? Or filled with cheap H1-Bs? Or automated? Or pay burger flipping wages that will never cover the cost of the schooling?

As we all know, student motivation is entirely due to how effective their teachers are. Seriously, though, I have read many articles by reformers that argue that while ignoring all the other possible reasons for lack of motivation.

Thing is, for a lot of students that's a learned behavior. But we mustn't say where they learned it.
