Technology Vision

“The brain gives the heart its sight. The heart gives the brain its vision." -- Kall

“Some people have the eyesight of a hawk and the vision of a clam” – meaning, people can see 20/20 and not need glasses, but have no vision, no larger picture, no idea for the future and what they want to do.

I've found that most people know exactly what they want. The problem is that they are scared they cannot get it or don’t know how to get it.

This site is to help myself and others with a vision of technology in education.

IM in the Library?

"Tapping the Tools of Teen Culture" from the Digital Divide Network. I enjoyed this article! The part about connecting students and their library through IM was intriguing. The thought of students having a book talk through IM and even involving participants from outside their school community (students from another area) seems to be better than even blogging! Think about the impact on learning when ideas can be developed together online just as they would if everyone was in the same room! In addition, maybe that one student who doesn't like to speak up in front of crowds would feel safe enough to "speak up" online! Then after all is "said and done" for the IM book talk, the students would have written record of the entire discussion that could be printed and used for future reference! The learning power this offers sends my mind spinning! =)
