"I hate technology." We hear people say it all the time...unless you are one of those people. There are millions of excuses why educators and school leaders do not value, much less, use technology. There are even bloggers who blog about how technology in schools is a bad idea, and then they Tweet about it. Seriously?
We can model the behavior we want to see in others.
A couple of years ago I was teaching a graduate education course at a local college, and I encouraged my students to bring in their laptops and tablets. Some of the students thought it was an odd request, which I thought was...odd. I assumed that colleges and universities would be at the cutting edge of technology use. After all, encouraging students to connect online and search for information we were discussing, at the same time we were discussing it, has the potential to change the face of the way we were learning together. All professors must feel that way...right?
Wrong...
