I remember not to long ago when the integration of technological resources into a lesson plan required a great deal of planning and support (at least for me). So as I struggle to see why technology is not being integrated into our schools and classrooms as quickly as it could be, I am reminded of the words of our Superintendent of Schools (Dr. Conti).
I have heard him speak to educators numerous times on the topic of integrating technological resources into schools. His comment that resonates for me is as follows:
"The technology used to be hard and that has changed, but the teaching is hard and it will always be hard."Keeping this in mind and the whole idea that searching for technological tools and resources has been compared to taking a sip of water from a fire house, we have what appears to be a difficult task in front of us. How do we best conquer this two step process of showing teachers how easy these tools are to use and then help them to navigate the seemingly endless number of resources available?
It makes me think that the fact that we have so many options makes the technology hard again, albeit in a different way than in the past.
