I think of myself as an education blogger, but I admit I have been preoccupied and less productive in generating content directly relevant to this field for the past two years. I feel a strong commitment to exploring the classroom integration of technology, but I don’t apologize for my recent neglect. I have only so much time and I regard my two-year foray into political activism as the response to a higher calling. Education is a broad topic extending beyond technology and beyond the classroom. What I see as systemic problems in the governance of this country have undercut the core mission of educators and have offered all learners flawed role models on which to base their character and priorities. I hope the future election provides a reversal of recent trends.
