Where are we headed in K-12 education with respect to technology and learning? What are the vehicles ("ships" in this metaphor using the Waldseemüller map) that will take us into this future? What activities should characterize effective blended learning in the future? These are Wesley Fryer's slides for a presentation on these topics for New York educational leaders in November 2011.
29. The Fire
There was a fire ban that year
But the carless campers left
Leaving smoldering remains behind
The fire that ate the forest
Wind whispered wordlessly in the trees
The fire was given new life
Like a new small heartbeat
The fire that ate the forest
30. ...continued...
The fire lit the dry grass
It was gathering in strength
Like a lion preparing to strike
The fire that ate the forest
The fire now reached the trees
It was a wild beast let free
Grey smoke billowed up to the sky
The fire that ate the forest
