Your thoughts in this post have put words to what I have been doing in my classes as of late, but had failed to even articulate to myself as of yet. Creation truly is the highest form of thought process, […]

Reading your summation of Connectivism is quite gratifying for me. The past month, or so, I have been trying to wrap my head around this theory of knowledge and learning. I am starting to see the wisdom in the […]

So it has come down to this. My final project for the COETAIL course. The past year and a half has been a breath of fresh air to my teaching soul. I hope to pass on the broadness, vagueness, the openness of my […] -

I can second your ranting, and maybe can even reinforce it. I switched over to a MacBook Pro for personal and professional use a little over a year ago. I find myself on it throughout the school day (I try to […]

Daniel Bench commented on the post, The Future’s So Bright…, on the site Trista's Blog 1 year, 2 months ago
I think you are onto the basic motivator for change in education. That is our students needs. As you said, the tech device they will use in the future to process is of very little importance. How are students […]

Daniel Bench commented on the blog post Presenting Matters! 1 year, 6 months ago
Your thoughts about presentation are very similar to what I have been reading about lately. The reality of how we learn and pay attention certainly backs up your assertions. More information is not always better. In the book Brain Rules: 12 Principles for Surviving and Thriving at Work, Home, and School , John Medina spends a chapter [...]

Daniel Bench commented on the blog post do the ‘little things’ really matter? 1 year, 6 months ago
Rabbit holes are so frustrating, but so REWARDING in the long run. My tech teaching practices are very similar to how you describe your 6 hours. So much seems of waste at the time, but the 10 percent improvement over time is gratifying, at least to me and I hope others. Looking at what others [...]
