A very enlightening concept...

The Fourteen Essential Conditions surface and help to solidify my suspicion that the implementation of technology in an organizational setting is as much an experiment in relationships as a working combination of hardware and software.

It’s difficult for me to recognize any significant evolution of my perspective on technology. I like to believe that I will be forever open to constantly learning (1) how technology changes and (2) its innumerable modern settings of application. For me, this course was a disciplined reminder of the importance of involving external team members during all phases of system development life cycles (SDLC). Academic settings often include professionals that focus on many aspects of curriculum development that fail to include technology. In other words, academic teams tend to rely heavily on technology professionals to handle much of their implementations; though, those implementations require as much academic experience as technology.  I think a recommendation for me to consider, going forward from this class, is What does the technology and academics leadership overlap of responsibilities look like? Who should take the reigns on the overlap? Where does academics need to step away from technology responsibility?

This point is dangerously similar to a dissertation proposal that I once read.

For nearly the entire length of this course I tried to make sense of the inclusion of Neuro Teach into Academic Technology Implementation.  It seemed to me at about Week 8 that we’re left to create that neuro-association (for lack of a word) on our own.

Consistent learning through our lives is encouraging.  The idea that our brains constantly evolve for the better; that is, the brain is expected to “improve” on an ongoing basis, is very encouraging.

The neuro-association that I apply between the two has become a personal excercise in evolving my brain, in its mid-life cognitive state, to adjusting my perspective on technology application and committing that adjustment to my prefrontal cortex through repetition. I need to utilize the ISTE on a few projects in an effort to maintain the new perspective.  That is my way of denominating the value of each of the ideas in this course, collectively.

The one area that I was able to make a weak connection was in the area of Agile Learning as it has a fraction of similarity to Agile Development.  For this, I talk about the Agile Methodology in my ISTE framework paper.
