Why This Blog?

This blog is the repository of materials I use with my students to help them think about what schools and teaching may be like in the future. I will add materials as I find them. If you have suggestions for materials that should be included here, please let me know via Twitter @drjohnhadley or by Email.

I also use these materials to stimulate an ongoing conversation with students and faculty on two questions: How do we determine whether a teacher is "technologically literate"? and Must all teachers be "technologically literate"?

The first question is the result of thinking about the second which was the central issue addressed in a 2007 post by Karl Fisch, author of The Fischbowl and Director of Technology for Arapahoe High School in Littleton, Colorado: "Is It Okay to Be A Technologically Illiterate Teacher?"

    Great to see you blogging here Dr Strange. I was reading through your preamble above and wondered what you would think to our school's answer to your question " Must all teachers be technologically literate?" We have answered "Yes" and have decided that all our teachers need to be as smart (literate) as a 10 year old! I have posted the list of requirements here. http://manaiakalani.blogspot.com/2009/11/etools-as-basic-as-breathing.html
    I wonder what you would make of that in your context :)
