Need a Technologist?
Will Richardson blogged today on a topic very close to home, “supplementing my kids education“. I have spent years supplementing my kids education, trying to keep them engaged in learning, even when school couldn’t. Technology is one major aspect of that engagement in our house. One of my initial blogs talked about my son’s first success in school, his first web site! This week he is working on a high school science project with classmates using google docs. Did they suggest this in school? No, he was talking with me about the problems of sharing a document with 5 other people and the frustrations of one person changing something but not emailing to everyone … You get the picture. Enter Mom, the technologist, as I’m now being called at home. Google Docs is now his ‘best friend’. If only schools would share the technology options with kids. Productiving, engagement and learning would improve drastically.
