[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd teacher have high standards they will be messed with and fired by an apathetic system that cares only coverups of crime and grade inflation.  Your boss will mismanage your time, bully, and fire because there are no real rules.[/quote]

But I think studens want this.  They want to learn.  If results are postive, why would admin be upset. There is no downside. Students will learn more and use better retention, teachers will have greater job satisfaction because they finally get to actually use their brain and TEACH, and schools don’t have to spend $$$$ on these dumb computer/edtech programs.  Everyone wins [/quote]

This is a bit shortsighted. If it were as easy as you think it is, we’d be doing it.

For many teachers, their evaluations are tied to how they use technology in the classroom. I’ve been marked down for going paper on assignments. I still do it, but that’s because I’m a veteran and no longer need to worry about what is in my file.

And, as a teacher who uses little technology, I can tell you that students’ attention spans have changed. I used to plan in breaks or transitions every 30 minutes. Now I have to do it around the 10 minute mark or I lose students to various behaviors. [/quote]
