Just a Thought: Try to Keep Up
This morning two tweets in my feed struck me as a perfect illustration of one of the major issues in adopting technology in education. They were one right after another in my feed.
The first, was from a newspaper's online presence highlighting the fact that a local school was piloting Google Glass. The second was a link to a column on ZD Net entitled "The End is Nigh for Google Glass" by Adrian Kingsley-Hughes.
The issue, as I've stated before elsewhere is that technology is changing so fast that there is no way that current education procurement and adoption procedures can keep up.
That makes what should be, and is, a cool story about a cool bit of kit that students can experiment with also becomes an illustration on how we as educators and or tech people need to drastically change the ways in which we go about the business of preparing the next generation.
