How do I learn?
Listed some perceptions about teaching and learning using technology.
Who's job is it to teach problem solving?
One idea is teachers must use technology in their domain (science, art, english) not as a large group.
Teachers acknowledge the need to learn to play games. Games are a way of problem solving.
There is never enough time to practice and learn in PLC.
Workshops are most effective if practice is deliberate and can be used immediately in the class room.
Strong technology teachers perceive themselves as leaders in the school.
