The pandemic of 2020 to present has affected all of us in some way:
Whether we are people who lost a loved one, or whole family to Covid. Or businesses that had to cease operations because it was unsafe to operate. Or gig workers who lost the ability to sell products, socially market, or present new products.
Seriously, Who do you talk to when the stress of your teaching gig is driving you crazy? I know that when I was
teaching, it felt like a lonely place where there were not many people that I could trust to share with. And
there were very few opportunities to share with someone who had the possibility of knowing what I was going
through.
Teaching is one of the more demanding jobs one might have. Some days, everything goes smoothly, and it seems so pleasant. Other days can be very challenging filled with negative interactions, and challenging, somewhat dangerous situations.
EdRoboTech.com is a construct and an idea created by
Edward Robinson in 2014, surrounding Educational Technology and Online
Learning. While completing his Master's Degree in Educational Technology and
Online Learning, Edward began to connect the relationships between Education,
Technology, and the Virtual World.
Teachers may want to hear from other teachers and successful people in education who are accomplishing much in a variety of fields of endeavor. What do you want to see in terms of venues of communication and collaboration among teachers?
A School Is A Dangerous Place. What do you do when one of the learners you protect, on a given school day, current student, comes in with a weapon, attempting to do damage to other students, teachers, or staff? What do you do when one of your former students comes back with a weapon, determined to shoot and kill students, teachers, or staff? We discuss it here...
Have you ever felt that something needed to change, but then realized that you
were just one person? And, after all, what can one person do to improve the
situation, right?
But, what if you were talking about improving Educational outcomes. And, you
decided to teach to improve outcomes. Oh, yes, but you are only one person.
What can you possibly do to improve Education?
I contend that Education as a construct, benefits from Technology as a
construct. I feel that simply teaching and learning the same way that it had
always been done, needed a change.
Since most of us have had some educational experiences we all feel that we are
experts in Education. We have some successes and perhaps failures to point to,
that make us know something about the educational experience.
One thing that I had to consider as a Teacher, is that I was also a parent. I
needed to get good deals on many supplies for my family, as well as create and provide a suitable classroom environment for the many students that came through my classroom every day.
