April - 180 Days?

This Blog talks about whether there is enough time in the school year to teach students what they need to know for the future with technology. Some argue that there is not enough time in the 180 day school year and that too much already being done. But the students do need to learn about technology and some students are already behind.
There is a PowerPoint on this blog that shows how the days of the 180 day school year are being used. When the slide shows ends, after going over what the days are used for, there ends up being only being 120 days that are used for teaching. What happened to the other days? They were used for State testing and other functions. This blog goes to show how time is being used in the schools. If time is made for technology it can be taught be other activities would have to be removed or minimized.
