An interesting thing has been occurring at my place of work. I work at an Educational Institution as an educator who focuses on the use of technology as a learning tool. Recently our organization has begun to move towards a more centralized administration of technology. This to me is an interesting prospect. I am of the disposition that I will work within the system if it makes things work smoother, however I also realize that there are going to be growing pains.
Lately I have been having a time trying to come to terms with what role technology has in schools. There is a gamut of reasons why people see technology as valuable. Just as there are a number of different positions to how people learn and how people should teach.
I personally think that at this time in my life this is where I see all of these things shaking out for me.
Okay, okay, okay, so I am not any type of artist at this stage in my life. I dream about being able to draw so that I can do some neat things with the computer. Unfortunately the amount of time and skill it takes to become a decent artist are things that I lack at this time. Though I do try!
If anyone had checked the weekend of November 8th they may have noticed that the website was up and down a bit. Well for good reason. My friend Danny Wegman and I finished running network cable, CAT 6 to be specific, in the house. Yes I have installed networking throughout my house.
Once we had drilled a bunch of holes, chanted a few choice words, and with Dan's expertise we managed to finish up the wiring. I am so excited that I can now get some speed behind a few of my machines. Some of you may be asking "Why didn't you just go wireless Tadge?" Well for good reasons!
