Conversations about technology involve changing policy as well as funding: two of the most inaccessible areas of public education.<br /><br />I think, as a teacher, that making the small steps to drive those in power to make different choices is what we need. To continue my analogy, help the administration place the charges rather than throwing annoying firecrackers at the building and hoping it will fall down.Steve J.

(I also, thankfully, remember the gratifying moments too.)<br /><br />Unfortunately, it is so hard for teachers—especially those new to the profession, their district, or their school—to know how and where to (safely and effectively) state their concerns. I have long believed that the lack of a support structure (from colleagues in other departments all the way to school boards and parents), whether actual or merely perceived, is one of the main reasons we lose so many potentially great teachers after only a year or two in the profession.<br /><br />Maybe that’s an issue worth exploring in future posts.Dougnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8040484164765793907.post-16732515387823718542009-11-10T16:25:07.496-05:002009-11-10T16:25:07.496-05:00Mr. Moore,
