Disruptive Technology - Making a Difference January 11, 2008

Clarence Fisher on Remote Access has posted a terrific story of a student who needed to connect to the Internet to finish a project, and all of the computers available were occupied.  Ultimately, the student turned to an iPod to connect to the school network and complete her work.  I don’t know how many districts allow for students or teachers to connect to their network, but in this case, the disruption such access can create was worthwhile. 

The point is just that the kids and I are both realizing more each day that the technology is just a channel, a pipe, a point of access to what is really important; the connection, the information, the people out there.
