I really enjoy these conversations, they cause me to think and confirm my convictions about the teaching / learning process

My philosophy of education includes technologies of all kinds. I believe that without technology in education, the whole child isn’t being educated. Without technology kids aren’t adequately prepared for life beyond the walls of the classroom. Of course children will be users of technology whether it is taught in school or not, of course they will. Technology saturates our lives. But without proper guidance and understanding of how to use technology, it will be misused. If children only know how to use technology as entertainment and consumption devices, that is how they will be used. Understand, the same is true of books. If kids are never taught to interact with what they read and encouraged to discuss it, they will likely grow up to be adults who read purely for entertainment and their own consumption.
