Meg Ormiston Instructional technology and curriculum consultant atTechTeachers and adjunct professor at Aurora University

摘要

For Meg Ormiston, it's a wonder sometimes that teachers don't just give up. Restrictive internet policies in schools, coupled with unresponsive IT departments and beleaguered administrators, present teachers with a nearly impossible situation: They're being pressured to incorporate 21st century teaching and learning into their classrooms, but they're not being allowed to use the tools they need to do that. They're being hamstrung, and so are their students. Ormiston has served as a curriculum coach, school board member, conference presenter, professional development specialist, and grant facilitator. Currently, she consults with schools on incorporating technology into the classroom to reach 21st century learners. And that requires her to continue speaking up for teachers who aren't yet trusted with internet access in their classrooms.
