Comments on: The EdTech Lament http://constructingmeaning.com/2008/04/28/the-edtech-lament/ ~ rethinking school back to relevance ~ Sun, 06 Jun 2010 15:02:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Cory Plough http://constructingmeaning.com/2008/04/28/the-edtech-lament/#comment-22 Cory Plough Mon, 28 Apr 2008 16:20:44 +0000 http://constructingmeaning.com/2008/04/28/the-edtech-lament/#comment-22 I have debated internally about whether to post a discussion in the class about this topic. I don't mind offending the teacher but considering she is also my advisor puts a little stranglehold on what I can say and how subversive I can be. Aren't colleges the places where thoughts go to expand? I think they are, at least for students, but most of my teachers have always been super conservative so questioning them has never done anything except get me in trouble :) I'm getting better at preaching to those outside the choir. Now I just need to get great at it. I'm presenting at NECC (poster session on this) and hopefully at Virtual Schools Symposium for the 2nd time. I am active at my school but not super vocal. I need to be. I have debated internally about whether to post a discussion in the class about this topic.
