1. How are we supposed to use more technology when we have to share 1 laptop cart with the whole building?
2. Why does technology not work for me when it works for everyone else? Seriously, this is not a complaint. Famous story of mine: I was Editor in Chief of the high school newspaper. I was laying out a page. I tried to put a byline under someone's name. You literally copy and paste it. Called the teacher over. Watch this. Did it right, still didn't work. He did the EXACT SAME THING that I did and it worked for him. He laughed, I refrained from throwing something at him.
3. I wonder why people feel the need to post important information that is private on social networks such as Facebook. Is there a list of guidelines somewhere telling you what is appropriate?
4. Because, if adults aren't being ethical with their technology, how are children supposed to learn ethics?
5. Why does our funding get cut when we need technilogical advances but football players go on strike when they make more in one year than I will make in my lifetime?
6. How am I supposed to keep up with everything in technology without losing my sanity!? (It's already slipping...)
7. What happened to paper?
8. How do you teach a 7-year-old about the Internet when they can barely type their name under a minute?
9. How do I get an attitude ajustment to teach that 7 year old about the Internet, let alone 20 of them? :P
10. The only thing that stays the same is everything changes. I stole that from a country song. It's true though. My question: Why can't something stay the same? Is that really so bad???
#3...I wonder the same thing! Sometimes I get uncomfortable just reading what other people put on there.
ReplyDelete#5...Good question! Why is that? Speaks volumes about what our society values I think.

#1.... I was wondering the same thing. Technology is so expensive. It makes it difficult for schools to afford such things with our limited budget.
ReplyDelete#6.... It keeps changing. I learn one thing and once I feel comfortable with it, they change it into something else!
20 7 year olds on the internet just sounds scary! Good luck with that. I'm glad it's you and not me.
ReplyDelete#5 - AGREE! I would love that much!
ReplyDeleteTeaching a 7 year old to use the internet...I don't teach students that young but I wonder...they can probably navigate the computer a lot quicker than typing their name!
