What if School Board Members were as Connected as Teachers?
Each night before going to bed I read teacher blogs. I’m impressed how technology is transforming the classroom, and I can’t help but wonder how long it will take for technology to impact school board members like it has teachers.
What if school board members, like teachers, used Nings, Personal Learning Networks, and other Web 2.0 tools to help us become better at what we do? What would that mean for our school districts? And for education in general?
What impact might web-connected, modestly tech savvy school board members have upon the development of effective 21st century schools; and what role might that play in improving student achievement?
Just a few things I ponder, late at night before going to bed.
Your thoughts?
