To the extent that you achieved the outcomes, are they still relevant to the work that you do in your school? Why or why not?
Understanding more fully the perspective that an administrator takes with technology was an outcome that I feel is relevant to my current position. As a district technologist, I deal with administrators frequently about many of the issues that we covered in this course. I deal daily with integrating technology in the classroom. I work to educate teachers about the tools that they have around them. As I have learned from this course, educating them may not always be the most effective. I believe that with some teachers helping them and modeling to them concerning how to integrate technology is more beneficial. Allowing the teachers to feel comfortable with the technology is also crucial for it to become part of their teaching method.
As I observe many classrooms, I see technology tools that could be utilized. Yet they are sitting in the classrooms. Many times the students can easily use these technologies but, their teacher has difficulty. This is a great divide and communication gap that I see in education.
