Technology for Teachers

Wondering what others think about early childhood aged children and toddlers using computers? I’ve got my own opinions on the matter so I’ll keep quiet for a little bit…. if time ever appears I’d like to do a quick podcast about tuxpaint… open source… and children using technology.

Kenny, my daughter, put together the following image with Tuxpaint when she saw me working at it (I was seeing just how good it was).

Won’t say yet whether I wanted her or promote her using computers yet…..

I also don’t know how much longer I’ll be writing here, as you may have noticed over the last six months my postings have been drying up. Party because my work is pulling me in a 100 different directions and partly because I’m moving in a new direction. This coming Summer I’ll be completing my administrative course work and will immediately be looking for K-12 Principal positions.

Some things that I know I’ll be posting/podcasting about in the near future are postings about technology integration in K-12 schools. I’d like to share some of my observations about rural Minnesota. Talk about research and current observations. Partly stemming from my Master’s Thesis but I won’t bore you to death with a cut and paste job. Although, it’s a quite timely paper and really hits home, especially for districts with tight budgets… but enough of that for now. I’m just happy I sat down to write this much! Who knows, maybe it could become a pattern!
