Well you can guess what I want to blog about this week. I want to blog a little bit about the implementation and TPACK. Last we had a lecture about this and it was really interesting. The biggest lesson that I learned was that one of the biggest conditions for the a good implementation process is drinking a lot of coffee with the middle manager. This is the person that is at the centre of it al and without him the implementation will fail.
On the university we have recently started to work with Blackboard. This is an online learning environment that replaced the TeleTop system. As a student we didn’t really get a lot of information about blackboard. Just an email informing us that we were going to use this and a short lesson about how it works. I think the university assumed that the students would pick it all up very quickly just by doing. The teachers on the other hand got a lot of support. You saw them practicing in the pc-rooms and they also got individual support. It was interesting that this individual support was given by students that never worked with is but were given a little course on how to use it. This made we wonder if in the future the implementation of ICT will be as difficult as it is now. People of my generation are very much used to using ICT and getting to know new programs. Will we remain this flexible or will we also stop exploring technology and stick to what we know because that is best?
