Starting to change them

In SA, I used to use technology a lot with the students. We often went to the computer lab and do things. We used the email, we used blogs. We used to just have the students type things and straight away email to me. We used to have them research there and then and prepare a writing assignment. Now in USJ12, they hardly do that. Not encouraged to use the computer lab, no computers in classrooms, got TV but no connections ... it is basically back to books and board. But no, I do not accept that. So I am changing them. The students, I mean. It's going to be a long road but I am starting to get them to email me, to have class blogs and all. It's on the way. It won't be an easy route. But we'll get there.
