Day 17
Today I spent a lot of time reflecting on my experience so far. One of the 21st century skills that I have observed the most is employability, in particular, the need to continue to learn. With the speed of technology today, it is imperative that employees show the willingness to learn new things. Hy-Vee is constantly looking for ways to improve the technology tools that they offer stores. Sometimes these changes are minor, but other times there are major overhauls. This is where the training department is invaluable. Employees need to be trained on the new tools. This can be difficult for some employees that are used to doing their job in a certain way. Change can be scary. But with the current economic climate, employees should be thankful that their companies are willing to adapt and change. Employees should be willing to do the same.

Have you put any thought into how you can implement more technology into your classroom?(are you one of the lucky ones that have access to computers?) I have been thinking about having my student do blogs like what we have been doing... but am also concerned about the time it would take and access to computers... What do you think?
ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea. There's always the equity issue when it comes to expecting students to use technology outside of the classroom. We currently have students reflect in their journals at the end of each investigation. I may give students the option of blogging instead.
