 Inspiring, Teaching, Learning

Like Don Quixote chasing after windmills, technology often seems like a terrible beast.  This site is dedicated to taking the beast out of educational technology and making it accessible for teachers and beneficial for students.



 Addressing the Challenges

  • Time - We don't always have lots of it.
  • Know How - Who has time to figure all this out?
  • Money - Always in short supply  (or spent on the wrong things)
  • Administration - Compelling reasons about why you're doing it
  • Student Outcomes - Things to really make them better
  • Safety - Sites that are school friendly

 Philosophy

  1. Students learn best by doing.  The best use of technology in the classroom involves collaboration and creation.
  2. Project based learning gets chaotic.  Sitting and being quiet doesn't equal learning - don't let the chaos deter you.
  3. Make it important.  Give the students a real world purpose and let them apply what they've learned.
