Thing #7a

I have been following Scott McLeod blog, "dangerously irrelevant". He is very insightful when it comes to technology in the classroom. He writes...

Our intelligence tends to produce technological and social change at a rate faster than our institutions and emotions can cope with. . . . We therefore find ourselves continually trying to accommodate new realities within inappropriate existing institutions, and trying to think about those new realities in traditional but sometimes dangerously irrelevant terms. (War: The Lethal Custom, p. 441)

This week he posted a 3 minute survey: Why isn't your school organization making more progress? He gives 8 responses to chose from and you can follow the results live. I am going to share this information with my department when the survey closes.
