Questions for Will Richardson

Questions for Will Richardson

1. Any teacher coming into a classroom environment should know and be prepared for the lesson that will be taught and the material covered. This is essential to a positive and effective learning environment. With new technology coming out one after another how can teachers keep up to date with the rapid change especially in an environment where students perhaps know the information better than the teacher does?
2. I grew up attending  urban schools and I have had experience working in urban schools. I know the money is just not there in these school districts for the latest and most appropriate technology. If lucky two computers sit in the back of the classroom gathering dust, not even having internet capabilities and children are only exposed to forty five minutes of computer class a week. In these areas where money and resources is an issue what do you suggest would be cost efficient solutions to expose children to technology needed for success?
