A new journey begins. In keeping with the title of this blog I should probably rant and rave a little. Once again I have run into roadblocks with our district technology department. Almost all of the topics we are going to cover during the course of this training are taboo and blocked by the district. The response to my request to have access to the necessary websites and to have software installed on a district computer to do the training was turned down. I am sure we are not the only district that restricts access to these tools.
I was told "when these tools are talked about for serious consideration to implement into the classroom then we can experiment with them and learn how to use them." So once again we will be in a reactive mode instead of a proactive one. I am curious how prevalent this attitude is in our Kansas school districts.
