Let s say that teachers at the K-12 level began to correspond via chat rooms, etc.
Many schools lock shortly after the day, cutting off access to labs.
Nancy teaches at a rural school where there are many farm families who have computers but not necessarily internet. Mike and Lela and Melanie teach at schools that are similar in that many students do not have access to technology at home. We also discussed the idea that some teachers would feel obligated to respond whenever students communicate to teachers. We all know the restraints we face in the evenings between family responsibilities and teaching duties, etc. We also had some discussion about the role that technology should play in our classrooms.
