It was more like a "survey of technology in essay form". But I disagree with you on the 'perfect introductory lesson' part, or at least part of it. In a technology class, shouldn't the intro have been written on the computer? Why handwritten? Hi Sara,

But I take it this teacher had no such agenda...? I think this would be the perfect introductory lesson to a class in which the aforementioned digital topics would then be introduced.

I was lucky to have attended an experimental high school in the '60's that used a lot of media. I then attended a unique teacher training course in the '70's, only to discover that the vast majority of schools were obsessed with pen and paper, rote learning. I consistently see teachers not giving students credit for what they can create, for what they can add to the educational environment. Are teachers so afraid of their students out teaching them!

I think we are limited by a few things...first, limits set by contractual agreements that the minority force the majority to adhere to. Second, limited access to computer labs to encourage those few students without the means or access to IT to succeed. Third, teacher fear of not being the sage on the stage and unable to let control slip from their grasp. Fourth, curriuculum anxiety...."I must ram this rigourous curriculum into those poor students".
