In Theory |
This is a short piece that I wrote and shared as a preamble to a panel session with Todd Oppenheimer, Author of The Flickering Mind, at last years ISAS Teachers Conference in New Mexico. Mr. Oppenheimer is an outspoken opponent of technology in education. I was one of three that presented the "other side" And yes, I was also very out spoken. |

Best Of The Web |
In this issue I feature a collection of sites that were published in i.e.: Interactive Educator. These sites all have possibilities with the Smartboards on campus. Don't have a Smartboard? Don't worry, they are also excellent resources for classes without Smartboards. Subjects covered this month are: History, Art and Science. |
