Writing Situation
We spoke last week about how our prejudice towards the way things are can keep us from making choices that would make us happier/more successful/however-you-wish-to-define-it. Of course, the best way to explore these ideas is to try and see how they play out in your everyday life. I was thinking that teaching with a student response system (like the ActiExpressions from yesterday or Google Docs) is obviously a better way to get people to understand the material that they are supposed to learn. When I talk to other teachers about this, though, they never adopt it. They immediately, too, express a great many reasons (some good, some invalid, I think) why it won't work.
Writing Prompt
Do you agree or disagree with me that using these kinds of technologies regularly to teach in front of the classroom is a more effective way to teach the needed lessons? Write a letter to me expressing your position on this issue. Make sure to use reasons, facts, and examples to support your position.
