Today, I met with several teachers and surveyed them on their use of technology and my role with them. It was quite productive, and almost to a tee most of them talked about the time they have to deal with it to learn it and feel comfortable with its use. I know that this is a problem, and I talked about it in my last entry. We also have to deal with some hardware issues that need a resolution, and I plan to act as an advocate in that area. I co-taught a class today dealing with how to use Dreamweaver to create web sites for use within the classroom and curriculum. I foresee other problems in the area of hardware support, and I will deal with this issue as it arises. I just found out news that our IT person is leaving for another job. I do understand his decision and wish him the best. This will create a chasm here, and who knows when this ditch will be filled. The powers need to look at this position and create some permanence by being creative. Already I have to deal with uncertainty, but it something that comes with the territory. Tomorrow I am scheduled to deal with embedded learning in State College. I will update you on that. Happy Thursday.....
