“Are we just expecting our students to suddenly realize they are our nation’s future and get their act to together? Or should we try to make schools more relevant and motivating for students so that this happens naturally? If more students learn better will that possibly motivate them to continue and not drop out of high school?”
“Therefore, its’ probably more important to get the actual teachers into the idea of using ICT in their lessons. Could increased use of ICT in teacher training encourage teachers to use ICT in their own lessons? And what if they were given the time and resources to keep their ICT knowledge up to date? Wouldn’t that pave the way for smarter use of ICT use in education?”

Professional Development“To be better educators we need to be
better learners
We live in a technology-driven culture that moves faster than any we have ever known.
We need to educate our educators on how to keep up to be relevant.
Professional Development must be part of the work week.
Skills have changed in the 21st Century, but many who are responsible for teaching those skills have not changed themselves.
They need education and not condemnation.”
