Comment on ‘Quality’ time…? by Single Steps Learning

We completely agree with you – we began realising that as much as we loved technology and connectivity, it was actually stopping us from being ‘in the moment’ some of the time. Everything we did became uploaded in one form or another immediately…instead of taking the time to interact with the moment and the world/people right in front of us. A balance is the solution, we think. And a recognition that we (or I!!) had a tendency to become addicted to all forms of technology and communication!

I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately as well. I find that I dread opening my computer some days- that I stare at my e-mail thinking “Oy. 125 unread messages since yesterday? What could 125 people possibly need me to know in the last 12 hours?” I’ve diagnosed it as Internet Poisoning and the cure- as you described here- is to just step away from the interwebs for a while. I leave my phone in my brief case, shut down the computer, and go outside to throw the ball for my dog. In extreme cases, I need a paddle on a quiet pond or a trip to the beach. No matter what, though, it’s about connection to the people and places right in front of me (rather than those on the other end of the feed/stream/comments).

Thanks for your comment.
Great to hear of IWB going beyond the ‘new chalkface’. Was horrified by my daughter’s experience of a teacher regularly using a visualiser as a ‘class text book’…’When the last person has finished copying this page, I’ll turn it over!’ Aaaaargh!

Interesting post! In my classroom, as with lots of others guess, I tried to make the IWB a feature of learning, NOT just an electronic version of a blackboard. Any sessions we did together on the smartboard, groups of pupils would print off A3 size and we would stick it up on our learning wall, so it changed week-by-week, focus-by-focus. They were in charge and would regularly moan if we missed a day. It was a big wall, but we balanced it with other creative ‘stuff’. Balance is a good word in this article.

Thanks for your comment and your honesty whilst reflecting. Yes – it seems to be a ‘hot topic’ in many schools. And the whole ‘appearance of learning’ and ‘appearance of an education system’ is definitely a current ‘hot topic’!
