What does the tool belt theory mean to me!!
The tool belt theory is all about gathering the programs, information and skills needed to be able to teach those programs. what I’m trying to say here is that for every program you master you add it into your tool belt so that when you teach students you can provide them with the right programs or back up programs that they need to complete a task (please click on the link I have set up in my links page for a better understanding of what I am trying to say). I believe that this theory helps the teachers stay in front of technology and it also helps the students to learn the technology so when they leave school they will have some idea of what tools they can use when they are in the workforce. This ultimately makes a student and teachers more confident with new technology.
