Breadth vs. Depth

[Julie]

Even if our curriculum during these twelve days were to be solely focused on techno bells and whistles, we would be facing this same eternal struggle. There's just way, way more than we can even begin to touch on in any responsible way in this short period of time. Add to that the fact that yes, we are trying to look at all of this tech in a relevant, rich manner that asks all of the hard questions about why do it in the first place, and does this serve the needs of the content curriculum, and will we and our students become not only better manipulators of the technology itself, but better writers, more critical readers, stronger speakers, more careful listeners, deeper & more mindful thinkers, with greater curiosity about ourselves and the world outside our selves?

Phew.
