I am glad to hear that the parents are backing you up on this though. Keep up the good work and do not let the naysayers get you down. And yes, learning is not a timed event.John Harvillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03448917355663769647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-436223218573301613.post-89598777860544653372009-08-29T12:19:59.650-07:002009-08-29T12:19:59.650-07:00Grrr...

Sad to hear you've come under fire for your classroom use of technology, but I can't imagine what the naysayers are using for ammunition. Class and educator blogs are a valuable tool in and out of the classroom and help foster a real community feeling among parents, students and teachers. Let the positive support from parents outweigh the criticism and keep doing what you're doing.<br /><br />You're right - school is more than 8-3 (or 9-3 here in NZ)and the classroom walls are slowly being eroded, opening up and extending learning opportunities for everyone involved. To deny students access to this is to hobble their education, blinker their vision and stifle their voice.Michael/@teachernzhttp://teachernz.edublogs.orgnoreply@blogger.com
