Teachnique
a weblog for teachers (with or without technology)

The term tech·nol·o·gy is derived from the Greek tekhnologia, the “systematic treatment of an art, craft, or technique“. This blog is all about using (or not using) technology in teaching; hence, we thought we coined a new term (that’s already been used a lot) for its title: teachnique! By definition, the focus is on:
  1. a: the practical application of knowledge especially in a particular area <medical technology> b: a capability given by the practical application of knowledge <a car’s fuel-saving technology>
  2. a manner of accomplishing a task especially using technical processes, methods, or knowledge <new technologies for information storage>
  3. the specialized aspects of a particular field of endeavor <educational technology>

Clearly a work in progress, this site will be as dynamic as any preK-life classroom, hopefully!
