It is amazing to me how much education has changed, not only from the time that I myself was in school (which is a lot longer ago than I really want to contemplate at the moment), but also in the last two decades, from when I was a little...

I don’t know about anyone else, but this semester has hit me at full-speed and then some! I’m a little late to the game, but hoping to try and get my feet under me this weekend. Hopefully. In addition to starting to respond to what we’ve been discussing in...

This semester has been a wonderful one, full of discourse and discovery, and I really enjoyed delving into issues surrounding technology and the classroom. I also had to stretch myself, both with getting back into blogging, but especially with the online debate, and with putting together this summary of...

This week was a fun one, if only because this is one topic that I’m really not sure about. And the reason for that? AI at this level is so new, that we honestly don’t have the information needed yet to determine what the impact is going to be...

With the start of our class debates, we are beginning to take a closer look at some of the issues that have been long debated in schools and classrooms. Our first debate looked at whether or not the use of technology in classrooms enhances learning, and I will admit...

This week’s prompt, what role should schools play in supporting students in the development of their digital identities, feels so complex. And looking at it through the lens of a high school teacher, I feel like, by the time they get to us, they are already so deep into...
