And the better the job you'll get. Forgive me if I seem cynical, but I've stopped talking about my beliefs to the people I meet. Focus on poor ergonomics and eye strain, measurable and seemingly provable dangers. It wasn't until I started talking about poor lighting and carpal tunnel syndrome that one mother paid any attention to me. I'd say that you should talk about expense, but in these days of the booming economy, fueled by dotcoms and Microsoft, fuggidaboutit.
People have more money than time to spend on their kids.
I hope my opinions prove helpful. I have been reading several articles, both in the Dallas Morning News and in the eSchool News that piqued my curiosity about the Alliance for Childhood and your Technology Literacy Statement. I have been to your website and read the draft, and would like to respond to it from my perspective. As background, I am an Elementary Technology Facilitator for the Mesquite Independent School District in Mesquite, Texas. What my long title means is that I work with teachers individually and in groups to help them effectively integrate the technology into their classroom curriculum.
