This week we explored tools for creating podcasts and discussed ways to build learning communties to facilitate interaction and critical thinking. With all these tools available, what are the implications for changing the way we work, teach and learn? What is preventing us from such changes? If you could wave a magic wand, what would you change and why?
Wow, what a question. I think I would like to have some face to face classes sometimes on some of this technology. It’s very difficult to “get it” if you’ve never been exposed to it without some help sometimes. I know we can have help on-line but it’s much more difficult to communicate by writing about something in this case than it is to just have someone “show” you live and in person. I think this is probably one of the main problems on why we are not seeing change. People get frustrated after spending hours trying to figure out how to do something and then get nowhere with it. If I could wave a magic wand, I would wave it and have a person magically appear that knew all the ins and outs of this stuff so that I could have them show me, help me understand, and then disappear again until I need them. Of course they would stay current on everything and could give me new ideas as well. How awesome would that be, your own personal tech guru right at your fingertips. Well, since that ain’t happenin’ I guess I’m going to have to figure something else out….frustration coming on…..
