- The teachers who get “burned out” are not the ones who are constantly learning, which can be exhilarating, but those who feel they must stay in control and ahead of the students at all times. - Frank Smith

- How many times have you heard from your colleagues they don’t want to deal with technology. “We’ve been teaching this way for 30 years, why should we learn something new now?” They’re just going to retire in a few years anyway. A FEW YEARS! That seems like an eternity in this day and age. I’m going to have sit and watch these guys coming into the teacher’s room to pick up their CD players for a few more years? I actually saw a professor fiddling with a cassette tape the other day. Times have to change.

- It’s understandable that learning technology this late in the game is a mute point, but to make it so we can’t teach these classes in tandem with the older guys for fear they would lose all of their students to the hip new thing is just sad. I guess I should be happy. At least I don’t have to make a million copies for every class. Actually, I’m considering not even taking a bag to work anymore.
