Re: I am looking at getting into the tech coordinator field
Posted by Fred Sharpsteen on 2/07/08
These are all great things to know but to be a technology
Cordinator or Director is more about working with educators
then the Tech side of computers. I know many technology
coordinators that want nothing todo with the education and
just want to program and turn the screw driver. But in
education technology should not be used for the sake of just
using technology it must be integrated so tightly that it is
more like a student using a pencil and paper, I.e. just
another tool to get the education of the student done. I
started 12 years ago when schools where just getting
computers and trying to figure out how they would be used to
educate children. They were trying to teach basic at the
time as their realy was not much software avalible for
education at the time. Wow how thing have changed.
