In his lively blog Metanoia, Ryan Bretag, a high school instructional technology coordinator, brings a curious and open mind to teaching, technology, society, pop culture, and all the intersections between them.
Bretag shares highlights from a discussion he had with students on tech issues, including concerns from students about how to use technology effectively in the classroom.
"I really can't explain how powerful it is to sit back and listen to students explain how they don't want technology to be fancy new tools," Bretag writes. "They want it to transform teaching, learning, and leading."
These posts are interesting both for the insight into students’ thoughts and the model of community dialogue Bretag demonstrates. The blog covers many difficult and exciting technology challenges facing schools, including some that might be off your radar: the cost of Web 2.0 in schools, imploring schools to consider the TCO (total cost of ownership) when weighing social software, and how students should sign their intellectual property posted online.
