Teachers Using Technology – A New York Times Project

This is a great article for Thanksgiving week, and a great glimpse at how teachers across our country are developing Dan Pink’s aptitude of Symphony.

Take a few minutes to read through the article, and if you have time, check out these teacher-submitted videos.  They really do show you why Bloom’s Taxonomy was revamped to put “Creating” as the highest level of learning.

As I look towards this shortened week, dreading the classroom management issues that will surely arise, this article was a nice release.  I don’t come close to their level of technology, but it doesn’t mean I shouldn’t try.  Maybe I’ll see if a little bit of Symphony and technology will help me manage 120 restless students this week!
