To which I responded “Then you are using it wrong”

That started the great conversation that we then took to a quick Google Hangout. Sorry for the lack of production value :)

    Love this discussion, I’m obviously a little biased, but still a great convo nonetheless.

    I obviously missed a great discussion last night. I totally see both sides to this issue. True blended learning should be open, but as an elementary tech teacher, privacy is a huge issue. Privacy is very important for our parents. So in some situations, it’s not even an option to allow students to venture beyond our school walls, so to speak. Not sure this solves anything, but it’s my two cents anyways.

    My concern is that few grad/undergrad educators use the power of LMS for true blended learning. Its a post, read, reply mentality for many of the old guard forced to use it without a real background of the potential of connections.

    I get worried that we are trying new and powerful teaching with tech tools in secondary classrooms and when they go to post-secondary, it all gets pushed to the side and the students take a step back.

    We need to prepare our students for any environment and teach them to use the tools, regardless of name, brand or cost, to help themselves be more connected to their learning.
