Always judge a book by its cover - never judge a person by theirs.
Learning happens in my library not just by reading and researching, but by doing and trying. When I teach a technology tool to a student, I'm not just teaching them the tool - I'm also teaching them how to try new things. When I teach a teacher how to use a new technology tool, I'm helping make their job easier and making learning more accessible for students. Life is too short for crappy stories. Give it three chapters, then if you're not feeling it, put it down. There are more books out there to try. Tech tools can help transform learning. Tech tools can help replace pen and paper and worksheets. Tech tools cannot replace a good teacher. |
