Topic #2: Why do you think educators are so resistant to
change, especially when it comes to technology? How do other institutions, such
as business, deal with technological change?
I think a lot of times it is challenge for educators to
listen to their students and accommodate their needs. Today’s learner is reliant upon media rich content and
technology for knowledge and for learning. Naturally, most instructors did not grow up learning relying
so heavily on technology so it is a step outside of their comfort zone. Also, even if an educator is
comfortable with technology it can easily be a challenge to have these tools
become distractions during lessons or become to dependent on the entertainment
factor.
