<<We're not talking tactics, we're talking strategies of change.>> In my instructional technology coursework, we are exploring so many innovative ways to instruct, but 95% of the things we are using are blocked in the classrooms?! How can we get the word out the students are being ripped of and teachers are being censored! <<This about helping these children in our classrooms who are desperately needing to be reached in the ways that they learn. These kids are drowning and dropping out of school. We just don't need to talk about more tools that are going to leave so many glassy eyed and lost but about making a difference in the ways we can to have wide scale positive incorporation of technology into the classrooms in ways that reach kids.>>We got the tools, but someone needs to give us permission to use them. In a way, I think the decision makers are not as informed about all of the resources as the teachers. It's like the are "scared" of this technology, they don't get it, therefore, we don't get it in the classroom, and the kids are basically sitting in a classroom with a glorified chalkboard and getting no exposure to the wealth of resources out there!
