Podcast Reflection #3: Driving Questions 2010: The role of school administrators

Mr. Kevin Honeycutt is such a great person. I would like to state that my mom works with him and he is such a whoot to be around! In his podcast "The role of school administrators" he talks to Tim Holt (the director of instructional technology at El Paso ISD). They both agree that technology is extremely important in schools. Honeycutt compares teaching to football. When he first brought it up I thought to myself how is he going to tie this together, but is does it perfectly. We have to teach students what they can do in the end zone. If we do not push students' knowledge for the future, what happens when they reach the end zone without that knowledge? Nothing. We cannot keep teaching in the past but we as teachers have to teach in the future only in present day. Sounds confusing, but makes complete sense. Like Kevin Honeycutt says, "We owe it to the kids".
