Questions for my research paper



Hi,
since this blog is part of a research paper, where I should as well implement interviews I thought about asking these questions online, so everybody interested is welcome and asked to answer them.

1. What essential technological skills should a student have to prepare them for life and work after graduation?

2. How should technology be integrated in schools and instruction to develop these skills in students?

3. To what extent would the current structure of schools need to be changed in order to accommodate technology integration for students?


Please just answer them by clicking on comments and refere to the question by its number. Thank you very much to everybody who took the time, it is a lot of help to me and everybody can learn form your opinion.

D. Warlick on Opening Day

I had a lot of fun talking to David Warlik, and did as well a short interview for my Facharbeit. Thank you very much to David for his time.

I will post again if I have any valuable news

Geek!ed! in Pinckney: "This is being mobloged from the airport, on my phone — so please forgive spelling and grammar probems… I enjoyed a double treat yesterday. It is impossible to express how impressed I was with my audience in Pinckney, Michigan. It was the teachers’ first official day back, and their children are reporting today. On top of that, many of them were going to host open house that evening. Yet, this audience graciously gave me their valuable time, and by indication, their honest professional consideration of the issues that I shared. The second half of the day (..and the second treat) was spent with the technology team of the district. They are also the knowledge, personality, and passion behind Geek!ed! (Google it), a regular podcast of conversations about kids, tech, information, news, and the future. We recorded an episode right after the keynote, and it’s not every day that I have so much fun. We talked for a half hour (the limit for their shows), switched off the recorder, and kept talking. So I pulled out my iPo"
