Technology Quote of the Day
This quote was taken from the blog of one of my students who pulled it out of the reading. It is so good, that I decided to re-post it. I think it is so true about all of us. The challenge is, how do we help teacher to learn to plan the lessons such as the technology they use helps them achieve their learning goals?
“Every learner will encounter new technologies and will need to learn new applications. Preparing students to be fluent users of technology in their lives must take into account the activities that sutdents are likely to undertake. Only careful planning can ensure that students learn relevant technologies and develop the capability to adapt to the variety of technologies that will be relevant to their career and life.”
