It would be an interesting way to collaboratively produce notes from the meeting, and also a way for you to receive feedback and to even continue the meeting by commenting, as I am now. I do know of principals who have staff contributed their notes to a wiki or Google Doc during the meeting, for these very reasons.

Go to a web site, then click the extension icon, and it pops out the QR Code. I use it to look at something on my iPad or iPhone, that I've found on my MacBook. QR-Codes are really quite old, starting in 1995 in Asia. For a couple of years, the only educators who would respond to the codes on my slides were audiences in Asia.

But I avoid using the term, technology, as the window. Today's prevailing information landscape and how it behaves (thanks to information and communication technologies) gives us all a window on our world, empowering us to take more control over our future. BUT, we must be literate in terms of that information landscape, which means being in the habit of "asking questions about the answers that we find."

One aspect is that the education training that we got, those of us who were in education school in the '70s, was very much in line with today's access to information.

I'm not sure why we need to compete in the same realm as China and India. It's why I push the idea of the creative arts. Also, even though China and India are producing more engineers, our engineers are often more creative, though I've heard from employers that more and more, they're finding that American engineers know the math, but can't really think very well. My son dropped out of computer science in University, because they were teaching programming the same way I was taught grammar. It was about syntax, rather than making computers do interesting things.

However, that teacher is not doing his job. Students should be learning with contemporary information and communication technologies, which is computers and the Internet. If they're not, then that teacher is simply doing a good job at preparing his students for the 1950s.
