Computer Science Teacher - Thoughts and Information from Alfred Thompson : Department of Learning Prevention
What has happened that we are so afraid to teach students things that are useful and powerful?
I really agree with Alfred on this issue. For a large school district we probably have the most freedom, but we're shut down in weird ways.
For example, I want to use a gaggle.net chat room but it doesn't work. I've emailed the guy who is supposed to be in charge of this, but still haven't heard from him after two days.
The weird thing, is that Instant Messenger works fine, so we may end up using that.
