Text, Hard-Copy, writing a reading

27 03 2008

Often students are asked to hand in drafts of work but the idea of drafts to me is from an era of hard-copy. I  draft as I go using a word processor iteratively, write,  re-write,  read aloud,  get the computer to read it,  print preview and finally print the assignment off. The only reason I print things is because I am asked to. I find it strange that our attitude to student work is still hard-copy…. But.. I still enjoy reading hard-copy , contradictory.. perhaps

A good presentation about using technology beyond applications. As teachers we should be using technology as a tool, learning how to use the tool is important,  the need is to move beyond the tool and towards using technology to communicate, create and learn.
