Blog on: Study: Emerging Technology Has Positive Impact in Classroom

Study: Emerging Technology Has Positive Impact in Classroom

I chose to blog about this article this week for several reasons. It relates to Chicago. It has the opposing view points. It was timely and relevant.
Here's the thing about technology and the classroom. As far as I know, there is no good way to train teachers because there is no single platform that we are working off. Most people have gravitated towards the Apple ipad/ipod products. That is fine. Where are the courses that teachers can take to get CPDUs? Why can't we create on-line courses that offer CPDUs with solid examples of the technology being used?
Technology is part of our kids' lives. Incorporating it into the classroom is important if we want to continue to engage them and give them the skills they need to operate in everyday life.
