Programming with VB
Programming with Java
Digital Imaging (Photoshop and Illustrator)
Desktop Publishing & Web Design
MS Office Suite
I will not have to worry about how to integrate technology into my classes; that is a given. My issue is how to conduct these classes to be more than just mindless skill acquisition.
Sometimes I call myself a technology (information technology) teacher, and sometimes a computer teacher. I worked as an Information Technology Manager for 6 six and as a programmer and network administrator for 4 years. IT is part of the larger technology field, but it is in itself a substantial entity.
I think it would serve the educational community better if we referred to computer related technology as Information Technology, and leave the term 'technology' to its broader definition.
