I might get FIRED but it"s OK

Today in class I showed the student a little of what science and school could be like if the district had the resources it needs to have and students had the access they need to have and this class of digital native lived it. It was the most excited I've ever seen a class of high school science students. They were saying things like, "shoot maybe I need to become one of those science people", and "that was so cool". It was so fun to teach student what their future could be like and what education in a modern science class could be like. But the truth is, I broke several rules to do it. Many in the district would have issue with how I was teaching. I was using technology, that's all. I was using the power of technology to teach student science without paper and pens. I was teaching live, active, real, science. The science of their future. It was powerful, I wish I would have recorded it so I could show all of you. I will record it next time. I cross my fingers that I don't get in to much trouble for bending some of the rules but I can no longer sit by and let more student fall through the cracks because our education system is so out of date. I will need to have some good data to back me up, when the day comes that I get called out for doing things different then all the other science teacher. That day will come but my hope is that by then I will have enough hard science data that I can justify my methods. Wish me luck as I go out on this limb, in the name of the future of education and for the sake of my students.
