Being an Anthropologist- Understanding Your School's Technology Culture
What I did for this assignment includes a variety of tasks. I started with the last four questions. I referred to Robert Holt for the answers. He then referred me to some other people who gave me some more answers. I questioned students, the librarian, and other folks. Then I put the assignment aside. More recently I scanned 6 pages from the student hand book. I reviewed other questions completed by fellow M.A.T.er's and realised I had a document that contained the student's technology competencies. I then scanned this document (5 pages) and also formatted all of the documents into JPEGS since I wasn't able to forward them to the rest of the group, the documents were too large. Finally, I reviewed the first set of questions and modified #1 to make sense for my classroom. Lastly, I posted the document in Google docs where I tried to open a new account but just realised today that the account is the same for the blogger. So, I changed my password, and recently realised that this is all connected.
In doing the assignment, I realised the school utilizes technology much more frequently than I would have thought. I have been listening to more of what the students are talking about while working on art projects and I hear things about downloading, just the other day I learned about on-line gaming and that it is an incredibly popular activity for many young kids. All in all, I've learned a lot about the school's technology procedures and capabilities. I've become more aware of tech talk and I think I have a greater understanding of what the kids get excited about and are interested. Cell phones might be the largest thing, but also video games, Internet games, and downloading music. I think many student's have experience with digital cameras and a select few are making videos, music, and art.
