I began as a Social Studies teacher in 1995. When I hit my classroom door running it was always with the ability to integrate technology. I haven't looked back. The first thing I actually did was clean the cabinets from the former teacher who had over 500 film strip movies.... 1/2 of them were not even opened, still plastic wrapped. My basic answer is... Some would jump on board and use everything you described. Some would stay lazy and continue to lecture, just like today. Keep up the great work... I look forward to sharing this information with some colleagues... Great post… I began as a Social Studies teacher in 1995.
