I am an education enthusiast! My mother always encouraged me and my sister and brother to get an education. It took me quite some time, but I took it to heart. As a result, I was the first person in my family to obtain a degree - actually, I have three! I feel that we all learn from unexpected sources on a daily basis. We are constantly taking in information from one another, the Internet, the media, and the ever changing world around us. So, in my opinion, education is ongoing and constant.
There is nothing quite like a great teacher. Teachers have the ability to shape thoughts, thoughts shape actions, and actions shape lives - quite powerful when you really think about it. I worked as an administrator for five charter schools in Columbus when I first came here - I was asked to come by the school superintendent - and, I respected all of the teachers. They gained my respect because they were on the front lines, in the trenches, so to speak, with the students and the parents every school day of the week. It is not easy work, but can be very rewarding for the teacher and the student.
This blog will celebrate the best teachers who utilize technology in their teaching methods. They are the forerunners... not afraid to take the lead in advancing onto new horizons. Technology will play a major role in how education is disseminated in the future. Teachers who utilize technology now with their students are sharing a precious gift that will travel into future generations.
