Dorothea Lange
“The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.” Dorothea Lange
This can be said of any technology used for education …
The objective is not to teach our students how to use the technology. It’s to teach them what, by using the technology, we all can learn about interacting with our world, our learning and our interpretation of things.

The Future
“The Future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of 60 minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is.” — C.S.Lewis

People Doing Stuff
As most of us have spent the last few days inside, searching for bread, milk and eggs, and, if you are like me, (it’s -9 degress where I am) spent an inordinate amount of time in front of the computer. This video will have some meaning. It is strangely satisfying.
Remember how you feel after three days of sitting, and watching this video, the next time you are rightfully vilifying those who would have your students sitting in front of their televisions.
They are making videos of other people doing stuff, so we can watch them, instead of actually doing stuff ourselves.
