Operating Systems

Operating system, it seems like a very technical, computer oriented term, as i read chapter 1 this week I realized something very different. In reality we each have our own operating system, as individuals, and specifically related to this class, as teachers. It is our operating system that dictates what our discipline plan is, how we set up our classroom, and how we interact with out students. Often we take our OS for granted, we don't even realize we have one. I think though, that reflection on our OS is, in fact, very important. We need to look and see what has impacted that OS. It might be that the OS we have been working with is not the best for our situation; just because Microsoft is what we have always used, does not mean that it serves our needs best.
