Time for a new episode of Lost...wondering WHAT are we watching and why are we watching it? It's like Twin Peaks all over again. The commercials are insane. Comcast should advertise its DVR service during shows like this (or Tivo for that matter). We're ready to commit!
Today at work, a teacher was complaining about the students' use of email in our course management system. They complained to somebody that they didn't know WHO was teaching them how to use it. How were they ever going to stop the students from using it in their classroom?! Oh boy...I SHOWED THEM HOW TO USE IT! I wanted to scream when I heard that story...have we ever heard of classroom management? teaching responsible use? 21st century tools? Well duh, middle school students are going to abuse an online communication tool if given the opportunity. But at what point do we admit we've lost control of what happens in our classrooms and the inmates are running the asylum?

The students KNOW how to use it! :) and, left to their own devices, will use it in whatever way they can.
The teachers need training now, not the students!
