Changes

In doing research for TE 891, I was struck by something I'd never considered. The possibility that teachers don't use technology because they don't know how. And, that they don't know how because their teacher preparation programs didn't teach them. Why didn't I think of that myself? I've worked at MSU in technology for over six years. I know that professors often don't have more than basic tech skills, and often don't have those. What I never considered is how this propagates the "vicious cycle" of technology resistance. You can't teach what you don't know, right? And, if people aren't teaching, how will people learn? The brave few will venture out on their own, while the others are left behind. Whose job is it to catch them up?
