Great article on staff development. I have been thinking a lot this year about attendance at Tech Tips. One of my self criticisms that it is less constructivist than is should be. I think this criticism is not quite fair in that it is a sort little thing that teachers are supposed to go out and play with and come back if they need help. I think that Stagger would give himself 20 minutes to set up a problem for students. Still I feel a little too much like a talking head. I wonder how we could asses what impact Tech Tips is having on the learning that happens in the rooms of the teachers who attend each week. That actually might be a great questions for all the teaching the tech staff does.
