Thursday May 21: so what's it all good for?

Greetings, Javaneited gentlemen!



Towns, cities and states all across America are screaming for money to run various different programs, and some of these have to do with education. Technology instruction is part of education, so what we do here in this class -- and in future classes-- is affected by all this. So what I'm asking you to think about and then write into a group discussion post is this: what's it all good for? How do we justify spending money on technology instruction? How do we keep classes that we already have and try to offer more?



What I would like each of you to do is to write a group discussion post of at least two paragraphs of at three complete sentences each detailing why you believe that what we do here is important, and what we can say convince others of the basic value of what we're all about. As part of that, let's try to discuss ways in which the technologies we pursue can actually save money, for everyone, not just us. Additionally, let's try to discuss what each of us believes to be the items that should be part of any program of technology instruction.


After that, you can continue with your game projects,


cheers,
Mr. L
