Technologically illiterate?
I’m actually pointing you to another blog today, but the post that I want you to read is very powerful. It’s something that if you are reading blogs already, it probably doesn’t apply to you – but we all have colleagues that would fit the description of “technologically illiterate” perfectly.
I want you to read that post and consider sharing it with your faculty and peers to use it as a discussion starter. Don’t use it in an accusatory, finger-pointing sort of way. Just start some dialog and see where it goes.
“Is it okay to be a technologically illiterate teacher?”
If you would like another post to read and use a video to begin conversations in your school, check out the “Did you know 2.0? – shift happens” presentation. The actual video is a fairly long download, so make sure you have it saved before you need it and don’t try to stream it. They have a wiki set up to continue discussions online with your global peers.
Once you have some good talks with your peers, direct them to these blogs & wikis (mine included of course!) and set them free to begin their own technological journey.
