Its the proverbial “white elephant” problem, the sounds cool problem and lets do it anyway problem all wrapped up into a loose theme……..

What doth you mean by this Darren?

Well – my role is to provide career programing/resources to support innovation (aka technology in all its many facets) championed by educators across the district. With that has come many great successes and no shortage of less than ideal results – which few ever elect share by the way. Fortunately, risk taking has been supported and encouraged in my position, however, I am still saddled from time to time when it comes to resources (especially technology based ones) becoming very expensive dust collectors. Either due to the march of technology, poor rollout and/or the over centralization of expertise.

Join Darren on a multi-stop journey Click Here as he attempts to share/riff/juggle the concept of technology — its disposal, its envisioned purpose, and the roles students are intended to have along the way.

It started with a topic but morphed into a theme.
