We know the 5 W's...

Who
What
When
Where
Why


The theory, the reason, the ideas...I understand the importance. In fact, it is all very interesting, but I am finding that there is something lacking...

The HOW....

All too often in any form of education we learn about the 5 W's. We sit in a room and theorize about the mysteries of the universe. Sipping on our coffee and contemplating what we should be teaching or why. In the end, the how tends to be left out of the conversation. If it is mentioned, it is often in isolation and therefore holds little significance. This technology class has done a better job at asking us how we would use the technology in the classroom. However, the dialogue amongst our peers about the how's are usually left out. We submit our ideas and usually only the professor sees them. I would love to see us have to post different ways we would use the technology in the classroom to our classmates or give one example during class of what we could do with the technology. I think if we could share the how's with one another, we would leave any class with so much more valuable information.

In fact, ultimately without the how....what's the point of all the W's?
