Dorothy, I particularly agree with you on this point: ------------------------------- When did this change in our culture occur, that whatever kids are “into” we need to bring into our classroom? As an educator, my philosophy is that I should expose them to new ideas - ideas they are not getting outside of academia. And when did things change that now the burden is 100% on us to “reach” and “engage” students? What about the students’ role in this? Isn’t learning to connect with adults their responsibility? It’s called growing up! ----------------------------- Technology is a great thing, but sometimes technology is used too much for technology's sake. Sometimes a pencil and paper work just as well. And sometimes students spend more time manipulating the technology than on the material they are supposed to be learning. And I really do believe that they need to learn to engage themselves. It shouldn't always be about entertaining them. Marsha Redd Librarian, Kelloggsville High School Grand Rapids, MI marsharedd@hotmail.com Education is not a goal; it is a life-long process. Everyone is a student. Everyone is a teacher. --------------------------------- Ahhh...imagining that irresistible "new car" smell? Check outnew cars at Yahoo!
