**Whole school approach to quality teaching through technology "Teachnology"**
media type="file" key="New Project - Mobile.m4v" width="300" height="300"

**The Big questions....**
technology is flakey!.....We as teachers don't want to risk our students on technology...because in our experience it is unreliable.. never does what it is supposed to do... its a risk!!! HOWEVER......

....if we don't... are we RISKING ENGAGEMENT!

ARE.... we ready to turn over the learning to students?

Lets look at joe's notebook.

media type="file" key="Onlinelearning.m4v" width="300" height="300"

Have you seen these? What are they? What do they represent? What do they do?



We as teachers are organised.. and like control... how will we survive....the online environment is MESSY, disorganised and Manic!
