In this post by Dean Shareski, he talks about the issue of bandwidth (or lack thereof) in schools. Dean feels that the major problem with EdTech in todays school is that they lack the proper bandwidth. He even states in his post. "Imagine teaching English using books with half the pages ripped out. That’s essentially what it’s like for teachers trying to use devices with no bandwidth." Dean feels that in order for tech teachers, or any teachers for that matter, to properly educate their students to their optimum that schools need to add more bandwidth.
My Comment:
Hi Dean, I am Patrick Roane and I am currently enrolled at the University of South Alabama where I study secondary education in hopes of becoming a teacher myself. I am currently enrolled in a course called EDM 310 where we learn how to educate through technology, Like you yourself stated in your post I too am no expert on bandwidth. However I did enjoy reading your post mostly because I had no idea that this was a problem for most schools. It is nice to see that current educators, such as yourself, share this kind of information so we as future educators can understand and be prepared for this in the future.
