I think this is really awesome and definitely headed in the right direction as far as getting teachers more involved with technology, however from my experience in several different schools, most have been really strict on cell phone use during school and teacher/student communication outside of school.
It was quite a hassle really because teachers wanted to do more but were restricted by school policy. I hope schools start to utilize technology in the classroom.
Yes, that's very true. It's going to take a while to convince schools to change all these entrenched behaviors and policies.
But, as you're getting at, it's also obvious that technology should be -- and will be -- an integral part of the classroom in the future. So we're hoping that, by making it as easy as possible to get on board, and by making the tech usable both inside and outside the classroom, we'll help teachers and classrooms move towards this future.
Yeah, I totally agree with the idea. I think it's amazing. And the way teachers still do tests and things by hand in Word is pretty crazy too. There's a huge market with schools.
