The Past, Present, and Future of Education and Technology

Jason led a pre-conference session yesterday on digital storytelling which was very well received. He’s continuing the same theme on writing and telling stories as a part of learning.

Four tech teaching tips:

• Don’t fear 10 year olds who know more than you…deputize them…
• Be kind to your techies
• Practice Zen Tech, not Zantac
• Have fun…of course!

Don’t rule by concern

• Turn concerns into goals…
• Goals allow you to aim, move with intent…

Teachers and staff need…(the same thing they needed in the first place!)

• Technology
• Tech Support
• Time
• Training

• CARE Incentives:
• Compensation
• Assistance
• Recognition
• Education

Jason’s presentation was very captivating and held a lot of
information. I haven’t done a very good job of summarizing it, he
wrapped it up and disguised his message into compelling story. I would encourage and recommend attending his session tomorrow if you have the chance!
