It’s a Character Issue
There are a plethora of edublogs writing about technology. While I am tech guy, it is not my intent to rehash tech here. Sure, I have my issues with faculty who have little desire to do what they ask their students to do every day (learn). And I am sure that techie stuff will come up. But I won’t focus on tech.
I am sure that the topics will venture into technology in education, but I hope to do so entirely under the umbrella of character development. You see, our current culture doesn’t have a technology issue. We have a character issue. Or, rather, lots of them. Whatever happened to responsibility? To service? And don’t get me started on society’s lack of humility.
More discussion to come. In time, I will spend some words discussing five character values (that I try to role model): Enthusiasm. Responsibility. Humility. Leadership. Service.
I do hope that you’ll come along with me for the journey. My middle school sometimes does a lesson using this old Apple commercial:
I don’t expect to change the world. I hope only that I can guide a few young men and women to become better people.
