Stumbling Blocks of Technology

Technology has changed our world for the better is countless ways.  On a personal level we rely on technology from minute to minute and hour to hour.

For some of us, student and staff alike, the very technology that enhances learning and increases education opportunities can act as a great stumbling block that prevents the very outcome it is meant to encourage.

Such is the case in our own school these past weeks as we have launched the new school year.  Whether it's a student playing with or working on projects unrelated to class content with their laptops, or teachers and staff troubleshooting the supplemental content, and sometimes core materials, meant to educate the student, the stumbling blocks present a problem to all of us.

Lost time.  If you were given one hour to use, how would you use it?  What about two?  Three?  How about 65 hours?  A lot of hours you say?  That is how many hours have been forever lost from the technology stumbling blocks we have encountered these first four weeks of school, and the number is conservative.

It's time to offer solutions for student and staff alike.  Submit  your suggestion for avoiding this technology stumbling block.  Suggestions used by students & staff to help remove or avoid those stumbling blocks will be eligible for prizes or special privileges.

I look forward to seeing the creative solutions submitted.
