Why were your kids playing games?
We as future teachers need to focus on the best way for our students to learn, no matter what approach we use. I think author John Spencer was just trying to show us to stand up for what we believe in and what we feel is right. If we never voice our opinions we will never be heard. That principal is behaving like many teachers and principals are today. They are not willing to open their minds to different things.

I get that the teacher thinks that flipped classrooms are for teachers who can't teach. A flipped classroom is so that all students can be helped at that moment even though it is one teacher. A lot of teachers don't take well to change, it's for the better.

Don't teach your kids this stuff. Please?
I feel that this post is about not trusting the internet, and all the positive things it can do. There are a lot of negative things that can be found on computers, thats why parents and teachers should monitor the kids.
I agree that teachers and parents are not willing to allow the advances of technology better children. I believe that if more adults would see technology for the good it has to offer instead of the bad that can come from it then there could and would be so many more learning possibilities for our students! Good Post.
ReplyDeleteYes, Papermate is a metaphor for a PC. Ticonderoga is a metaphor for a Mac. The cartoon characters resemble the stars of the long series (66 over 4 years) of Apple ads starring John Hodgman as PC and Justin Long as Mac.
ReplyDeleteYou missed Dr. McLeod's satire and his sarcastic message: you can try to keep your kids away from technology which is fine with me. Mine will use it and speed past your kids in skills, abilities and rewards.
