Rodd Lucier (CA) • 2008-12-11 08:23:54
e-paper is coming faster than we think!
qdsouza (CA) • 2008-12-11 08:24:22
cheaper - easier to use - faster
Rodd Lucier (CA) • 2008-12-11 08:24:46

Hi Tim
Rodd Lucier (CA) • 2008-12-11 08:35:48
Why did my posts automatically show up for a while with each character? Sorry?
Rodd Lucier (CA) • 2008-12-11 08:36:11
I love the connection of industry in the past and working in rows under supervision.
Jeff H (CA) • 2008-12-11 08:38:24
i agree...paperless society...one part of a million acts of Green...enter at The Hour
mrjarbenne (CA) • 2008-12-11 08:39:39
how fashionable
Rodd Lucier (CA) • 2008-12-11 08:40:13
I've already put my cell phone thru the laundry... I'd be banned from laundry forever!
Jeff H (CA) • 2008-12-11 08:41:22
now we really would have an excuse not to ask for directions
Velvet (CA) • 2008-12-11 08:42:13
This is amazing
Rodd Lucier (CA) • 2008-12-11 08:42:40
We already take technology with us... but we don't let kids bring theirs!
mrjarbenne (CA) • 2008-12-11 08:43:49
we can plan on the fact that we have/can afford tech.
SadOne (CN) • 2008-12-11 08:44:08
We know this, the problem is getting THEM to know....
mrjarbenne (CA) • 2008-12-11 08:44:21
one mp3 player in the room is a problem. a class full of them is an opportunity
Rob De Lorenzo (CA) • 2008-12-11 08:44:40
Not letting kids bring their technology is restricting their preparation for a future society.
qdsouza (CA) • 2008-12-11 08:44:42
but the kids afford it
Rodd Lucier (CA) • 2008-12-11 08:44:49
Did you know... stories are powerful influencers?
qdsouza (CA) • 2008-12-11 08:45:04
the problem is our network administrtors are not ready
SadOne (CN) • 2008-12-11 08:45:12
Who is THEM? Educators unwilling or unable to prepare for the future
Jeff H (CA) • 2008-12-11 08:45:17
great quote mrjarbenne
Rodd Lucier (CA) • 2008-12-11 08:45:21
Network administrators would do well to visit a few classrooms....
mrjarbenne (CA) • 2008-12-11 08:45:51
they do. then they can unplug the linux units you got for free from rcto
qdsouza (CA) • 2008-12-11 08:46:06
Rodd - it would need to be the right classrooms
Rob De Lorenzo (CA) • 2008-12-11 08:46:11
Great point Rodd - visit while the kids/teachers are trying to access the tech
Jeff H (CA) • 2008-12-11 08:49:29
I've never listened to an 8-track either...
qdsouza (CA) • 2008-12-11 08:50:29
my either @jeff
Rob De Lorenzo (CA) • 2008-12-11 08:50:43
mrjarbenne (CA) - GREAT POINT - we can say the same thing about cell phones
Jeff H (CA) • 2008-12-11 08:52:46
$$$ unfortunately the 19th century classroom is cheaper
Rodd Lucier (CA) • 2008-12-11 08:53:56
As many times as I've heard the story of 'invisible tentacles' from David... It always gets the attention of the audience.
qdsouza (CA) • 2008-12-11 08:54:05
teaching the learners that they are - not the children we want to teach
mrjarbenne (CA) • 2008-12-11 08:54:14
it can't be a board plan, or a principals plan. It needs to be a provincial mandate to put tech in the classroom
qdsouza (CA) • 2008-12-11 08:54:32
It onlytakes One Teachers
qdsouza (CA) • 2008-12-11 08:55:22
that doesn't take no
mrjarbenne (CA) • 2008-12-11 08:55:50
it only takes one teacher, to have the student feel short changed when when they end up in the class without tech next year
qdsouza (CA) • 2008-12-11 08:56:09
risk taker
Jeff H (CA) • 2008-12-11 08:56:32
sensitive point!!! Could the connectivity that kids experience so early in life contribute to so many ADD diagnoses??? Would technology not help these kids???
Rodd Lucier (CA) • 2008-12-11 08:57:09
Sensitive point! I'm one of those educators who has been trapped in the need to connect with my own network!
Jeff H (CA) • 2008-12-11 08:57:18
I see it everyday in my class...when we are in the lab,,,my kids are involved, on-task, and learning
SadOne (CN) • 2008-12-11 08:58:02
When will technology be the focus as is EQAO or the Literacy test?
qdsouza (CA) • 2008-12-11 08:58:29
why look at the greener grass - we don't utilize the network
mrjarbenne (CA) • 2008-12-11 08:58:55
scrap eqao and you might have the funding to put a laptop in every child's hands
Rodd Lucier (CA) • 2008-12-11 09:00:13
Do you have a Facebook page? I'm exactly like David. I don't go to my page... instead I use other channels.
Jeff H (CA) • 2008-12-11 09:00:33
I have facebook too and i don't know why I need to check it daily...these aren't my friends...if they were I would talk to them
erica gillespie (cn) • 2008-12-11 09:00:33
I'm on facebook so I know what is going on in my college daughter's life!
Rodd Lucier (CA) • 2008-12-11 09:00:35
@mrjarbenne is the testing really that expensive?
mrjarbenne (CA) • 2008-12-11 09:02:06
my wife marked one year in a airplane hanger full of teachers getting paid well for 2 weeks
Rob De Lorenzo (CA) • 2008-12-11 09:02:57
I don't use Facebook but am connected using other avenues
qdsouza (CA) • 2008-12-11 09:03:19
learning is messy
erica gillespie (cn) • 2008-12-11 09:03:20
my 7 year old loves spore - it's bit over my head!
qdsouza (CA) • 2008-12-11 09:04:54
you need an open minded administrator and a willing teacher
mrjarbenne (CA) • 2008-12-11 09:05:21

Somr (CA) • 2008-12-11 09:17:15

Lorna Costantini (CA) • 2008-12-11 09:20:53

mrjarbenne (CA) • 2008-12-11 09:21:53

Rob De Lorenzo (CA) • 2008-12-11 09:22:16

The people in this room are not afraid - unfortunately many of our leaders are and they hamstring us and our students in the process
