I am glad you agree with Morgan and Dan,...Whitney,<br /><br />I am glad you agree with Morgan and Dan, because like you have said, we do need CHANGE in the education system. Things are not happening as they should, and students are not learning and succeeding in this fast changing world. As teachers, we need to teach them how to learn and think on their own. We need creativity in the classroom. I hope that you are willing to put yourself out there to initiate a change, and I am sure you are!<br /><br />From Dr. Strange: It seems that you did not understand that Tom Johnspn's post <a href="http://pencilintegration.blogspot.com/2010/07/dont-let-them-take-pencils-home.html" rel="nofollow">Don't Let Them Take the Pencils Home</a> was a metaphor in which pencils were computers. I will complete my post Metaphors: What They Are and Why We Use Them (<i>A Learning Opportunity</i>) later this week. After this post appears on the Class Blog you will be required to leave a comment.

Her thoughts have solidified what I have endured throughout this semester, as well as past semesters. I agree that we need to be up to date in order to draw out the creative side of students. The old style of teaching is just that; OLD. I am sure you have encountered the same issues that I have. I tune the professors out after about 45 minutes of a 2 and a half hour class. I think we have been given some fantastic tools in this class that will help us help our students. Of course, we need to be creative as well within our work to make sure our students are getting a memorable education. <br /><br />I think you have done a great job on your posts. Since you have been assigned to me for C4C this week, I am using your blog as a reference for my work. <br /><br />Thanks, K.
