I'm going to save your comment, Theresa, ...Ha! I'm going to save your comment, Theresa, about how SMARTboards were adopted over teachers' apparent wishes. When you said, "Who cares what teachers want!" I about fell out of my chair. I love the way you dug your heels in when you took the position that we need to figure out what is good for kids, and then go from there, despite what teachers prefer. Of course, I've seen a lot of promising technologies fail for the simple fact that teachers do in fact not like them and don't want to use them (ask me about videodiscs some day), so I'm of the opinion that we need to bring them along for the ride and provide a bunch of support. <br /><br />Ultimately, I'm in agreement that the "bang for the buck" is a pretty big issue for central administrators who control the budgets.Richard Schwierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08079686170991574719noreply@blogger.com
