Missing voice from teacher prep

PARENTS. I am curious to know what parents are thinking about tech -- what would they want to see? Not want to see? What motivations would be driving their inclinations -- tech as job-preparation, tech as prep-for-college? Tech is irrelevant to ed? Tech is poisonous to people?

I think there would be a huge variation, and I would love to see the spread in opinions. I think they would provide powerful grist for PSTs discussions. And this is something that undergrads (and probably all non-parents) are probably NOT very aware of, even less than their awareness of, say, school administration.

Teachers' enthusiasm for/openness to tech...

...all depends on their comfort level with taking risks.

And not all younger teachers are inherently more into using tech. In fact, they may be even more risk-averse and therefore not interested in integrating tech into instruction.

Something to watch for: second-career teachers. I think they might provide a pool of older teachers who are more willing to try tech. I have a few examples in mind but want to observe more.
