Every once in a while I read a post that resonates, it makes me step back and reevaluate how I approach technology in education. That post for me was written by Sarah Kajder about a session she attended during the BLC08 conference. Her post, Are you listening to this?… Why, yes. I am. But, are you? focuses on core competencies and how they are still fundamental building blocks for our students to be successful.
With the landscape of education changing so quickly it can be difficult to figure out which visionaries are on track and which ones are just out of touch. As we work through this course, we are exposed to so much information, that it is easy to loose track of of the fact that everything that we do professionally is to be able to help our students succeed. Are the opinions we are exposed to aligned with our goals.
Please take a few minutes to read Sarah’s post and leave a comment

Thanks for pulling me back to this — it moved me now as much as it did then. THIS is blogging!

I read her post and thought– I am glad other people are paying attention and not getting caught up in the notion of throwing out all the fundamentals. Thanks for directing me to it.
