I have watched the TED video and hear clearly what he says about not educating for the future.
what i want to hear is what he and others are doing/going to do to re-educate the current teachers. I am bound by the National curriculum to reach target for my Key syage 3 and 4 students in their use of computers. I want them to use the PC/chip as a tool to be used as and when it is the best tool for the job. i am 60 and should think about giving up. How can i harness the children's knowledge and desire if it is still there, and how do i do the best for the middle to bottom end with 30 n a class?
