Technology for Teachers

Have to check this one out when I have time: Educational Insights

I start my website of the week with “Dangerously Irrelevant” by Scott McLeod.

I catch more his site through the podcast but find myself checking in more and more often.

Scott quotes Gwynne Dyer in an explanation for the title of the blog, “Our intelligence tends to produce technological and social change at a rate faster than our institutions and emotions can cope with. . . . Innovation is cumulative and the rate of change accelerates. 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”.
