While reading about our final assignments, I came to the part where our instructor reminds us to make sure we're ready with "Plan B". Seriously, what would I do if the technology fails? Computers have been known to crash, or be down for upgrades, or whatever. Mostly, as teachers, we need to be creative and plan for the what-ifs, even those what-ifs that are not computer related. What if it rains the day I've planned an outdoor scavenger hunt? I'd better be ready with Plan B. While thinking this over, I am reminded that sometimes Plan B can be just as useful or creative as Plan A. If it is technology-related, it also might just include a different technology. Tonight my husband, my son, and my visiting nephews watched "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly". It is a favorite in this household. But, what sticks out for me is the theme song from the movie and what I call its Plan B. The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain has created a beautiful rendition of the theme song. It is definitely "lower tech" than the original, but, honestly, much more creative. I like this Plan B.
