Technology Literature

June 15, 2015

I've been delighted to take several technology courses to earn my K-12 LIS certification. While the assignments and work have been, for the most part, edifying and useful, the books are not. Only in the instance where we purchased an on-line text were the materials updated. In other cases, the books were published several years ago, making their information outdated. Although I'm certainly not a cutting-edge technology expert, reading about using Facebook to engage students (who currently avoid any social media utilized by their parents) isn't a good use of my time or money. It seems that when it comes to technology coursework, professors should try to find on-line materials to ensure that what they teach is not obsolete or antiquated.
