(Thank...Thanks for the comments, David and Tamara. (Thanks for the suggestion in naming the blog, also, David!)<br /><br />You are both right. Technology is scary sometimes, even for those of us who use it regularly. And, bad teachers, like excellent ones, can always get better. Using technology alone, however, isn't going to make that difference. That's why the training is so vital. Using technology could be a lot more scary if we just handed it to people and expected them to make themselves more effective with it. <br /><br />Thanks for the comments!Andy Hansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10922636562629391850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8094561214067324973.post-18993649037326859832009-10-24T19:10:46.277-07:002009-10-24T19:10:46.277-07:00Well said.

I must always keep this at the forefront of my mind because I work with teachers on a daily basis and technology can be a "scary" thing.

And I must demonstrate how wonderful using technology can be!Tamara Padfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03527827254589907088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8094561214067324973.post-16977869479392396372009-10-24T14:13:21.492-07:002009-10-24T14:13:21.492-07:00I mostly agree with you!

I should know - I am one of those. I was awful as a teach guy trying to teach teachers how to use the stuff I knew how to do. But, with guidance and training and the tools, I have come a LONG way. :-)<br /><br />BTW, I LOVE* the name of the blog - heh-heh!!--Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03884046413767054746noreply@blogger.com
