Frustration within Collaboration

I was at a training this week and they showed a few videos to us to help promote thought about resistors of change in the workplace. Well, we had our laughs and learned a day's worth of techniques on how to help these people make it through the necessary changes to make schools successful. The more I thought about one of the videos though, the more it reminded me of people using technology.

This week's blog is titled, "frustration within collaboration," because sometimes when you put forth so much effort into lessons and want your entire team to use it, it can be frustrating when they leave out the entire part where technology is involved! When the current movement within most school districts is collaboration it starts getting you to think about student equity, and when your teammate leaves out part of the lesson it's really not fair to the kids that don't get to experience that! Especially when the part they leave out is what you consider the best, most meaningful part, the technology!

I am afraid I don't have a solution for this. I just know you will enjoy this video and understand that you're not alone in this frustration. Keep collaborating, keep trying to get your coworkers involved and keep integrating technology into school! Someday they will stop resisting and finally see the light and how necessary it is to teach students how to use these technologies.
