A Light In The Virus-Dark: Computer-Centric Teaching-Learning

-
Covid-19 CoronaVirus has wrought death, illness, distress and economic havoc.
However, there is a light shining in that storm; it is the opportunity to exploit Computer-Centric Teaching-Learning going forward.
-
Nationally, Taxpayers, parents and students have spent Billions of dollars on computer technology for students over the past dozen years.
In large part these resources have been secondary at best in the teaching-learning process.
We now have a forced situation in which many players have the opportunity to contribute to exploiting this important endeavor.
-
We need education leaders from all levels of learning including private and public entities to document and formalize the best practices being used and upload them into a data base that is available to all educators.
This data base should be the genesis of our national and state resources for every course taught in public and private schools.
-
This facility will be the level playing field for all students, rich and poor, fast and not so fast, young and old to develop to the best of their ability and initiative.

I hope we don’t miss this opportunity to make a real contribution to education and success for all our people going forward.
