[...] Learning Technology One Week at a Time Alvin Trusty, who is the Director of Technology for The University of Findlay posted a blog about Teachers learning technology. You can read his full article at http://www.trustyetc.com/trustyblog/?p=59. I enjoyed reading this blog and it made some great points. My comment to this blog was the following-As a 3rd grade teacher and technology coordinator/enthusiast in my building I feel your article hit it right on the nose. This is how I began 8 years ago with technology. Unfortunately, I did not write a plan down, I just let it over take my life as you stated in the beginning of this article. Ever since I started learning as much as I could I have probably doubled my tech knowledge every year for the last 8 years. The sad truth is though; many teachers are afraid and intimidated by new technologies and believe that it will take up too much of their time to learn. I have tried to change the attitudes of my colleagues within my district and it has been an up hill battle. That is why I found your post to be so appealing. I am going to RSS your site onto my blog and encourage teachers to view it. You came to our district (Brecksville/Broadview Hts.) last March and I really enjoyed your presentation. You had so much to share in such a little amount of time. This was unfortunate because a lot of the info went over my colleaguesâ€™ heads. Now that I have a feed to your blog, I plan on using you information as much as possible. Again, this article would catch my colleagues eyes and maybe encourage them to get started just a tad. Thanks Alvin!!! [...]
