Better Off: Flipping the Switch on Technology / by Eric Brende (Harper Perennial, 2005) Paperback, 234 p. ISBN 9780060570057

In Better Off: Flipping the Switch on Technology, Eric Brende challenges the common idea that Americans must somehow keep up with the latest technology in order to lead a good life. He became a critic of modern technology while a student at M.I.T. and later met a man he took to be Amish during a bus trip. As it turns out, his community restricted technology even more than the Amish.

Brende decided to move with his new wife to join this community for eighteen months to see what it was like. As the title indicates, he came to the conclusion that the latest technology does not help us progress to a better life; we are better off without most of it. He discovered that the physical activity necessary to grow food and other requirements of that lifestyle increased his physical fitness. He noticed that the community had few projects that any one individual could complete alone, so neighbors helped each other out.

The physical work itself allowed his mind to think about many things and to converse with other people about anything at all. When the work was finished and people relaxed, they spent time with their families and neighbors, not with their new technology gadgets. And yet, at the end of the eighteen months, he and his wife left the colony and rejoined the larger society.  Read more... (496 words, estimated 1:59 mins reading time)

The recent advances in technology made possible by the internet have resulted in a rapidly changing world. In order to keep up with such advances, the presence of technology in the classroom has become of increasing importance.

Integrating Technology into Teaching is a great way for an educator to enhance the effectiveness of their lessons and connect with their students. After all, the current young generation has been immersed in technology like never before, and using instructional technology is a way to accommodate their educational needs in a way that is familiar and fitting for them.

So what are some of the meaningful ways to include technology in the classroom?

To begin, instructional technology can be a great way for an educator to have their students conduct research. One way an educator could do this would be requiring students to conduct internet research for a project.

In order to supervise and direct the effectiveness of this lesson, teachers could supervise computer lab time to make sure students are making correct use of their time.

They could also assign requirements for references and citations in order to teach children best practices for internet research. Selecting a particular website for research on a particular unit or topic could be an effective way to provide students with further direction.

Integrating technology into teaching can also be done by using computer software with the internet. Instructional technology can provide information and insight in creative formats, and software programs can provide lesson plans in a very effective manner.  Read more...

Say the words “technology management”, and some people have a look of puzzlement on their faces – they have no idea what the term means.  Basically, technology management follows the same course as other strategies applied in the workplace in order to further the success and sustainability of a company or organization:  Planning, organizing, staffing, implementing and monitoring/evaluation.  The one difference is that in technology management, you add the “technology” factor to the mix.  

Nearly every individual today knows that technology is meant to make life simpler and more streamlined.  Today, information technology management allows companies to make their business more competitive by utilizing available information technology resources.  Corporations and companies of all sizes benefit through information technology management, as managers and business owners discover effective ways to utilize technology so that the operation and standing of the company is improved in a competitive business environment.  Technology management is necessary in all divisions, including marketing and communications, development of products, process innovations and reporting efficiency.  Through these strategies, companies are able to create value and remain competitive with a cutting-edge advantage.
