Discussion:
- The use of technology is really a moot issue
- The issue is one of assessing its effectiveness in teaching and learning
- The use should be regarded as a necessity and investment instead of an overhead, then it would be justified
- Pre and post testing of 2 parallel classes - one using technology and one not
- pre and post testing of students who have taken courses using technology after they have left the community college
- Survey our graduates - who took courses using technology - those who entered job market and those who went on to a university
- do the same assessment of students who were in classes using no technology and see how that impacted them in the job market and at universities
- Survey all employers on their requirements for technical skills, not just for technology jobs, but across the board
