Technology and late posts

11/1/2015

So, this is my first blog post. I am doing this as a part of my training and position as the Building Technology Coordinator for Logan Middle School, but truth be told, I've wanted to do it for a while now. I'm thankful to my 'handlers' in the tech center for forcing my hand on this one.

I've posted this to twitter, but I think the majority of teachers (especially in the language arts fields) do not understand how important computer literacy is in this day and age.

When I met people who are computer illiterate, I am mostly astounded and then I'm curious about why. Why would you choose a limited life? It is becoming so that even "low-tech" jobs are requiring a higher and higher degree of technology.

When I worked at Delphi Harrison as their education liaison for Shelton State Community College, I discovered that the difference between being a manager and a worker was the ability to write. I'm wondering if that's the direction of the future with technology.

If that is the case, how does that and how should it affect education in our country? I think the ability to adapt to software and work within platforms will be essential knowledge for any workers who wish to succeed.

Santha,
Great first blog! I love the questions you present and I feel the same way in a lot of ways. First off, technology is changing at such a high rate that we as educators and people in general need to be willing and able to continue adapt and evolve with the changes. Second, we can never get to 'stuck' on one app, device, or piece of software as it will only be around for so long and at the very least it will constantly be changing. I love your attitude and constant willingness to learn and grow. Now my only question is, what will you write about next? Can't wait!

I'm so glad that we are forcing your hand on this one :) because I KNOW that you have great things to share! You are doing wonderful things in your classroom and as a technology leader in your building. You have so much to share that so many others would benefit from reading about in a blog.

Great insights and questions about technology. I agree with you...why would you want to miss out on all the exciting things that are changing our world. We have a great responsibility as educators to prepare our students to be able to adapt and change along with the things that are changing daily in their world.

Thanks for sharing!
