Technology & Planning Process

Thursday, September 20th, 2007

One of things I think important about a school community, in looking at technology for the future, is that everyone interested has the opportunity to enter dialogue and planning for change.  Technology can be anxiety-producing for parents and teachers — but in general our students are already way ahead of us.  So, how do we plan for what our children are already comfortable with?  We talk together, we think together, and we listen to what we think is important for the future of our children’s education.  On a personal level, then, I always want us listening to how our children talk to us about their own learning.  That’s what teaches me.  One of my teachers here is Willy Kjellstrom, who continues to help me tune into how our students are learning about their world by way of technology.
