In reality we may just have to see how it plays out. In some ways there is a charging ahead to try and bring new and innovative ideas to the table (nothing wrong with that) but then they forget that the most important point in education is learning the material. Most of the world of education is actually focus on State standards and making good grades on the state test (that means money) So if innovation can happen and the grades are still able to be made it is a good thing. But if learning is sacrificed on the alter of 21st century ideas- that is a problem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226269873507053740.post-5908619203300972392010-11-19T12:04:34.496-05:002010-11-19T12:04:34.496-05:00I'm not sure I get the point.

It sounds good on idea side, but with time zone differences may not be as feezible and these teacher would like to think.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
