Dare to Be Geeky
Increase Your Tech IQ1. Pick a new technology to explore.2. Get a student to friend you Facebook.3. Oh, sorry, first you have to get a
Facebook account!4. Observe students: Are they “plugged in”
or “plugged up” when they use gadgets?
5. Read the “Technology” section of The Chronicle of Higher Education
Increase Your Tech IQ6. Right click! Right click! Right click!7. Go to the Apple Store and play.8. Take a look at studentaffairs.com.9. Take your tech support person to lunch
and share their excitement about iPads.10.See how many times you can work the
word “blogging” into your next staff meeting.
Basic Tech Principles1. Technology should be used as a tool,
and not just for the sake of using it.2. Equitable access to technology
resources and training should be provided to all staff.
3. Digital interactions should complement, but not replace, personal interactions with students.
