Kids View – I think I get it, unfortunately.
I have sensed the frustration of a powerered down, disconnected learner these past 3 weeks. This is not a good feeling at all. Maybe this reflects many students views of 21st century school education?
At work, early most mornings, I have been trying to access, download and install four free on line software programs for the past 3 weeks. I did this at home in my holidays in less than 10 minutes.
Not having admin rights to these simple installs, I have many hoops to jump through before I can continue my PD at work, Dumb? You betcha.
Java, Moodle, del.icio.us and the DET NSW Promethean IWB package will all help me learn more about this read/write world of web2.0.
I am trying to learn at work, engage with what I see as valuable PD and yet my growing sense of frustration in achieving even these basic steps makes you reconsider.
I will persevere because I think this is important but why is DET NSW making it so hard? Surely we can all do better?
