Containers
I just returned from a phenomenal educational conference in Columbia, SC. Heard from some incredibly innovative educational technologists, the most profound (in my opinion) was Alan November. He challenged those of us who have been in the educational field for decades (hard to believe I have two decades in education!) to think about the “containers” students use for information. While I was in school, the container was paper. For today’s students, the container is technology. The challenge is how to put our content in the containers the students want to carry! Food for thought.
