Trying to Bridge the Gap

August 12th, 2008 by · No Comments · Uncategorized

Technology changes so fast, it’s almost impossible to keep up.  The article about Web 2.0 and bridging the gap between generations hits on a great issue.  The youngest of kids could teach most of us a lot- colleges have not caught up, which makes even the youngest teachers behind technologically.  It’s almost as if we need a pause button, even just for a little bit, to let us get everyone caught up.  I find myself now in a position to help try and close the gap- it’s actually my job now!

Here’s a question- How do we convince the reluctant ones that this is important enough to pursue, that it’s worth investing the time on the front end because the benefits are so vast?  Our audience has already “bought in”- how are we to get our teachers and leaders to buy in as well?  We can’t close a gap if we don’t have all the players wanting to close it.
