A Prophetic Post?

Last night I posted about technology being neutral and how people are responsible for the choices they make when using technology. I am not sure of the prophetic value of that particular post, but today I had to deal with some students for the very issue that I was writing about last night. This was a great opportunity for me to sit down with students and talk about school expectations regarding technology and to explain that by choosing not to meet the expectations that they were being non-compliant. During our conversations we were able to move beyond the laptop and to begin discussing choices and consequences. Once the students were able to identify how their choices could lead to some quite severe consequences, they were able to self reflect and they then laid out a plan detailing how they could make better choices in the future. This certainly is not the quick fix solution - but it is definitely a step in the right direction.
