I Need my Teachers to Learn

This is a great message. In our district, we try hard not to block anything like Skype and Youtube. We're lucky, because all of our teachers 'get it' when it comes to technology. The school where my kids go, however, is a different story altogether!

As a tech for our district, I can say it's so important for the technology to be there to serve the educators and learners, not the other way around.

This was my Friday video of the week for my fellow teachers

Great work :)

Nice job. It would have been a very powerful ending if the camera had panned in on the little girl looking at her dad on the screen.. and he was a famous person we all recognize.

Well said!

I have also embedded this on "Sliced Bread" my Australian education blog. Our DET is listening and change is starting, slowly. Well done on the message and the video.

I wish this video would "go viral" among our school administrators and board members. Great work, Kevin and team. I showed this four times during my sessions today in Moore, Oklahoma, at the Oklahoma A+ Schools statewide conference. Teachers loved it.

Great job- just wish it was "I want all superintendents to learn." Teachers always get the bad rap- many are trying like hell but getting blocked on a daily basis with filters and old mindsets.

Very well done and thought provoking. There is a definite balance between what we can and should do in schools. Tech Support makes decisions because their job is to protect the network. Teachers make decisions because their job is to teach. Middle ground can and should be found. Seeing both sides as a team rather than Us vs. Them would help tremendously. Thanks for the well done video!!!

Great Job - I'm sending this to my co workers. My school district opened a bunch of sites that had been blocked.
