I was reading a blog post (http://k12edubuzz.com/encourage-some-risk-taking/) because I am thinking in my own process, some of my pull back is my unwillingness to take a risk in my classroom. I understand what the technology can do for our students, but the number of students I am working with is at times overwhelming.
So I need to take more risks. I need to step out of the same old projects, which may be new for the students, but are feeling "old" and beige to me. Perhaps I start with just one section of a course and work with a small group of students to get the management of the project down and have them help me through the process of seeing what works and what doesn't. However, do the students who don't participate loose out on something?
I like the use of Twitter described in this blog post. It shows that sometimes you need to think outside of the box to see how something could be used. Although this particular scenario does not pertain to me, it makes me think of what other different uses it could have.
What are your thoughts?
