Want to, need to
Posted on: January 31, 2021
If I widened my social media circles, I would probably meet people who think that the restrictions for the lunar new year are unreasonable. I find these people unreasonable, i.e., they cannot be reasoned with.
If they were reasonable, they might realise that they are focusing on what they want (to do as they wish) instead of what they need (to participate in the collective effort of public health and safety).
If they were reasonable, they would think about the long-term benefits of social precautions instead of the short-term benefits of selfish behaviours.
As usual, I turn to connections in edtech. Administrators might want to meet technology quotas, but they need to determine if the technology implementations are effective. Teachers might want to use technology to fulfil a mandate, but they need to focus on how technology enables learning instead.
Another dot in the blogosphere?
