I feel like life today is sort of like this...

In 1997, my Superintendent told our graduating class two things:

1) Stay off of the internet.

2) Don't get into a stranger's car.

In 2016, I'm using my phone to gain internet access to get in a stranger's car.

In 1997, I had to call Domino's Pizza to order a pie and have cash ready.

In 2016, I can call, text, tweet, or send an emoji to Domino's; cash is discouraged.

In 1997, I had to get a travel agent to purchase a train ticket to get to college to get a paper course guide and stand in line (for eternity) to register for classes.

Today, not only do I pick my classes online, I take all of them online.

I will defend my dissertation over Skype.

6 years than 60 years

Technology has changed the classroom more in the past 

Love it or loathe it, we have a responsibility to meet learners where they are today.

Besides meeting learners where they are, the community also has to be met where THEY are.

ALL schools today should be using:

  • Facebook
  • Twitter
  • Instagram
  • Pinterest
  • SnapChat

I don't want to go on every platform to send a message.

Money is out there.  Let it come to you. 

Crowdfunding is letting one of my 6th-grade teachers send a project to space.
