The technological thrust resulting in the breakdown of school walls allows for communication on a grand scale for all the school’s stakeholders. It allows for collaboration of stakeholders to enrich the curriculum while striving to challenge and engage student learners. Often I think of technology minimizing the interaction among students. In this scenario, it clearly demonstrates that the technology is a tool used in the learning not responsible for all of the learning.
What is overwhelmingly evident is the emphasis on international perspectives, conversations, and outreach projects. What I would like to see restrained or monitored is the layman’s input on the instructional strategies. There are many experts in a number of fields who could be a valuable resource. On the other hand, this may open the door for many more with limited education, differences of philosophy, which may end up being a drain on valuable time and energies. I would not want to allow an infringement or false suppositions to negate the professional art of teaching and learning. Thereby, I would instill change and engagement through concept lesson design, using key themes, and allow students a variety of ways to work with the materials. I see this goal designed through the collaboration of teachers. The vision is contingent upon supportive and knowledgeable administrators along with a teaching staff welcoming the changes. This environment should be encouraging, trusting, and caring for the development of each classroom student.
