Discussions from last week • 1:1 schools and the changing role of the teacher • Role of technology is essential in our daily lives (Metcalf’s law) • “Education is moving from lower order thinking like knowledge/remembering to evaluation/creating which utilizes technology tremendously”
Technology - Past • Computing • GUI operating systems • Media – Television and video • Internet and the Web • Scantrons • Telephone
Technology Current • Computing (Moore’s Law; Metcalf’s Law) • Mobile computing • Smartboards • Social Media • Facebook • Twitter • YouTube: Let’s watch (4:55 mark) • e-Learning • Databases • e-books • Virtual reference • RFID • Informatics
Technology Future • Ubiquitous computing • Increase use of “computing enabled” devices • Web 3.0 (more customization; user-centered) • Can it or will it replace teachers and librarians? • What are teacher and librarian roles in a tech-heavy world?
Technology Management: A Systems Perspective • OEM • Macro (Ends and Goals) • Micro (Means) • Process (Policies and Procedures) • Technology tenets • Robustness, connectivity, and stability impacts your entire network (do not skimp here). • Technology must be maintained, replaced, and accounted for budget wise. • Technology needs to be connected to goals tied to organizational goals. • Digital literacy involves a lot of experimentation and social/practical use (allow teachers and kids creativity and opportunity to establish utility and ease-of-use for themselves). NO TAM, no acceptance.
What’s it all mean for us? • Do we need to know ALL technology? • Are our professions extinct?
