Change This week we read and discussed change and the need to accept and address it in our instruction. The Beloit list was quite an eye opener. Thinking of all the things that this year's college freshmen take for granted and don't remember living without. Times, they definitely have changed over the past 18 years! Change will continue to happen, especially from a technology stand point. We need to be willing and prepared to adapt our teaching styles to meet those changes.
we read the Who moved My Cheese story. I have read it before and find it to be a reminder to lighten up. I find too that it tends to be my mantra. It seems that as soon as I start to be comfortable with something and feel like I have a "groove," it changes. That is especially true with respect to how special education services are provided in school districts. Don't get used to it because it's going to change...
I think our future explorations into dealing with change will be enlightening and beneficial.

I had to smile when you used the "in the groove" comment. Does that go back to an analogy to the lp record with the needle in the groove. Something our students have no idea what an lp record is:)
