Dr. Graham said yesterday something that stuck with me. We were talking about online high schools and how students seem to want to state that they do not learn very much. Dr. Graham made the point that:
Technology has the capacity to represent large amounts of content, which in turn can let people do what they are best at: teaching. Teachers are overburdened with presenting content that they are not able to spend adequate time mentoring, encouraging, inspiring, and motivating students.
A new paradigm needs to be developed. We need to leverage technology more fully to enable teachers to do what they have been called to do: teach.
