Hello from Internet Librarian
I’m attending a conference(Internet Librarian) and Joel, Paula, and I are also attending the Tech Forum conference on Friday in Austin. I’m going to be posting some blog entries “live”from both conferences on our Technology committee’s blog if you’d like to hear updates about what we are learning. So click on the link for the Technology Visionary blog to read them. (www.vision.edublogs.org)
The conference is set by the ocean in Monterey, Ca., and since arriving, I’ve been thinking about the things we’ve talked about on the committee about students taking time to see the stars and nature. I think providing ways for our students to slow down and process ideas is also part of the vision we should have of the future, because in this “high tech” environment, it is easy for all of us to get caught up in the speed of things and not stop and look at the “tide pools of life” in a close, reflective way. Being here reminds me of the need to provide our students depth as well as breadth.
