Joel Cheuoua replied to Bernadette's discussion Blogging in the group Classroom 2.0 Beginner Group!"I think it's a great idea. I'd definitely recommend you create a blog yourself and animate it for them. If you see that they like it, then you can always offer to help them to create their own, but IMHO don't expect them to put a lot…"
Joel Cheuoua replied to Bernadette's discussion Blogging in the group Classroom 2.0 Beginner Group!"Hello Bernadette,
Why do you want them to blog? couldn't they comment on your blog instead?"
Joel Cheuoua commented on Michael Staton's group Educators using Facebook"Chris, unfortunately no, at that time it's not possible and not planned.

Joel Cheuoua commented on Michael Staton's group Educators using Facebook"Same as Jennifer :) I love Facebook ... I really do, but for distractions."
Joel Cheuoua commented on Michael Staton's group Educators using Facebook"Chris, Facebook has improved the way groups are functioning, if you create a new group, members will get the updates of the group directly on their news feed, so no more missing them.
Yet, I suspect that the distractions will still be there, and…"
Joel Cheuoua commented on Michael Staton's group Educators using Facebook"Jennifer, you can always create groups for that, but the real problem is that Facebook is full of distractions. If you use it in your classroom for studying a topic, you can be sure that your students are going to do something else (watch pictures,…"
Maury Blair replied to Joel Cheuoua's discussion Are teachers the biggest obstacle to technology in education ?"What Fifty Said
When I was young my teachers were the old.
I gave up fire for form till I was cold.
I suffered like a metal being cast.
I went to school to age to learn the past.
Now I am old my teachers are the young.
What can't be molded…"
Carolyn Mahan replied to Joel Cheuoua's discussion Are teachers the biggest obstacle to technology in education ?"I think that teachers can be a very big obstacle to technology in education if they do not know how to use technology or do not integrate it into their classrooms. However, I think in order to make education as effective as possible that there needs…"
Jessica Reeves replied to Joel Cheuoua's discussion Are teachers the biggest obstacle to technology in education ?"I would agree...and I do have access to 192 brand new Macs; I use them daily, but for the most part they sit, and sit..and sit! I can't fathom teaching writing the old way...publishing for just one teacher to read and comment on. It's so…"
james thornburgh replied to Joel Cheuoua's discussion Are teachers the biggest obstacle to technology in education ?"I completely agree. I see too many teachers that want the same hand feeding that they complain about having to give their students. They don't want to learn how to use technology because it's "hard", but they don't take the…"
Joel Cheuoua replied to Joel Cheuoua's discussion Are teachers the biggest obstacle to technology in education ?"Thanks a lot Erika, I think you touched two very sensitive points.
One is, for lack of better words, simply procrastination. That doesn't mean teachers are lazy, I don't believe that at all. That simply means they are better at keeping up…"
Erika Jordan replied to Joel Cheuoua's discussion Are teachers the biggest obstacle to technology in education ?"Again, we need to quit putting all of our eggs into the "training" basket. I want the teacher willing to model teaching AND learning for their students. So what if the technology doesn't work perfectly. I hope the teacher still…"
Erika Jordan replied to Joel Cheuoua's discussion Are teachers the biggest obstacle to technology in education ?"Terry,
I hear this argument all of the time. "Why don't we get a full day of training?... Where is the manual?... We never have enough time to learn how to use this technology"
Seriously, I want you to be a better teacher not a…"
Joel Cheuoua replied to Joel Cheuoua's discussion Are teachers the biggest obstacle to technology in education ?"I guess an interesting question is do teachers really want the proper training? from previous answers, it seems like they feel it's too much work and they don't think it's worth it/ have better things to do?"
Amy Broomfield replied to Joel Cheuoua's discussion Are teachers the biggest obstacle to technology in education ?"Teachers can pose a huge problem, especially when their students can "out smart" them on the very technology they are trying to teach. Though, I think there is a sollution to this problem. By providing workshops and handy tech guys for…"
