Techtalk: Developing Tech-Knowledge
Caverly, David C.; MacDonald, Lucy
Journal of Developmental Education, v27 n3 p38-39 Spr 2004
This article interprets two frameworks for how institutions and individuals can grow in "tech-knowledge." Technology growth opportunities for developmental educators are also reviewed. In the knowledge-based environment that is postsecondary education, professional development in technology must be ongoing as technology changes. Fortunately, a myriad of opportunities exist to guide those through the developmental stages. To learn how to integrate technology will not be accomplished in a few "one-shot" workshops. Take advantage of every available opportunity and begin to develop. This article is divided into the following sections: Catalysts for the Development of Tech-Knowledge (Institutional Developmental Phases of Tech-Knowledge; and Individual Developmental Stages of Tech-Knowledge); and Opportunities to Develop Tech-Knowledge; and Conclusion.
