* How does your school “provide a sandbox for students to explore?”
o Tell a story.
o Let us see this happening.
* Can this be done within “core classes” or do we, in fact, need a separate class for technology.
* What do you think of Richard’s description of a class where “applications are more important than content?”
o Might this be a good definiton for the subject of English?
o What about keyboarding, isn’t that a focus on applications?
o How do we avoid teaching software when content is de-emphasized?
* Shouldn’t all of our classes be places where students get “time/chance… to play?”
* How do we find time for teachers to focus more on applicatons than on content? When do teachers get to play?
