Room With A View

I’ve lost my room with a view. We’re two days into a new school year and I’ve changed rooms and jobs. I’ve given up my third floor room with a view of the mountains surrounding Beijing for a windowless computer lab. I’ve gone from being an elementary school classroom teacher to a middle school computer integration teacher. I’m glad I made the move but I have a few mixed feelings about it.

The advantage of being a classroom teacher is that one can create one’s vision for education with some interaction with others. As a technology integrator I have to work closely with my collegues in order to build a cooperative vision of technology education. It’s a challenge I look forward to. I just wish I had a window.
