As technology is evolving I realize that I must make great efforts to keep up with it. That is the hardest thing for me. This class is giving me the opportunity to face my worst fears: be technologically involved. I am fortunate to have my 13 year-old daughter, Dana, assisting me with this blog. I hope to learn how to navigate the system alone. Who knows? I may even like it one day.
I do not undermine the importance of technology. On the contrary, I appreciate it and value it. In fact, as I was viewing the different student services today, it felt good and made me to realize that this is much better than phone calls to different offices as I did when I was in college. It also felt like we could actually do an internship while being home without having to be physically present. Maybe it is something that schools will consider in the near future.

Renaude, there are many reasons that we must develop more technological skills. One major reason is simply that technology is a large part of the globalization that is taking place in our world. Through the click of button, we can connect with almost anyone, anywhere.
ReplyDeleteLast year, while I was in London, I met a man from Romania who was very globally-minded. He was well traveled and very tech savvy. He berated me for not being more so, as an American. That conversation with him helped me to realize that I had to be purposeful in learning new technologies.
I hope during this course you will experiment with technology and come to enjoy it.
