Technology at my Campus Week 1

Technology is loosely used term that most of us attach to computer literacy. With the continued development of the Internet and file sharing what you know about software and computing today may very well be out of date by tomorrow. Much of the knowledge and many of the skills I have developed are becoming increasingly obsolete. Upon completion of a comprehensive technology analysis I have come to a few conclusions.
On my campus I there is an obvious effort to continually introduce new technology into the classroom. The campus administration is very open and willing to automation in every aspect of campus management as possible. In addition the number of student computer labs have expanded making available workstations for student projects. The infrastructure for a technologically literate campus is in place and updated. However, where I think we fall short is in the area of time and training.
Faculty will integrate this equipment into their daily plans as much as possible if they are sure they know how it operates, and what its limitations are. I have not observed an adequate in service time commitment to facilitate this level of comfort. Often our in service can be boiled down into data analysis and how to improve test scores.
Infrastructure is sound and constantly updated, however a broad competency on this equipment does not exist. Time for training and exploration is what our campus technology plan lacks.
