Sledge Final Reflections by David Sledge https://padlet.com/davidcsledge/jacvhoo7puio dsledge(educ802)-reflection en-us 2019-03-16 20:52:58 UTC 2025-12-21 11:42:07 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Ninja.png 2- My final paper speculated on how I will apply my new insights about the power of technology to my teaching & leadership. davidcsledge https://padlet.com/davidcsledge/jacvhoo7puio/wish/342046869 At LEAST 14 conditions are needed to turn architectural schools around by leveraging technology.  This class helped me think about how even architecture schools need to be much more deliberate about how technology it incorporates into the school. Dialogue is needed with all stakeholders to routinely assess technological needs in school.]]> 2019-03-16 21:04:33 UTC https://padlet.com/davidcsledge/jacvhoo7puio/wish/342046869 1- What has really stood out to you professionally in the 10weeks? 2- Have you transferred this new knowledge to your place of employment? 3- How has your perspective on technology changed over the 10 weeks? davidcsledge https://padlet.com/davidcsledge/jacvhoo7puio/wish/342047085 2019-03-16 21:07:35 UTC https://padlet.com/davidcsledge/jacvhoo7puio/wish/342047085 3- Leadership is about team-work, and all technologies need to work for all stakeholders, equitably. Technology should bring people together, not drive people apart due to inequalities davidcsledge https://padlet.com/davidcsledge/jacvhoo7puio/wish/342047540 2019-03-16 21:12:20 UTC https://padlet.com/davidcsledge/jacvhoo7puio/wish/342047540 1- The Learning Community davidcsledge https://padlet.com/davidcsledge/jacvhoo7puio/wish/342047622 Thinking about how technology can improve education extends from inside the classroom, to outside the building. Technology must be a part of a Learning Community.]]> 2019-03-16 21:13:01 UTC https://padlet.com/davidcsledge/jacvhoo7puio/wish/342047622 3- There is a place for technological advancement on every level of every organization! davidcsledge https://padlet.com/davidcsledge/jacvhoo7puio/wish/342047822 We can not afford to leave technological integration to chance, nor can we afford a failure to embrace technology advancements.  I believe that technology has a role to play in Systems Thinking because it pervades every aspect of our life now... increasing more and more each year.  Yet, the number of hours in a day does not increase, so we must be more conscientious of our usage of the technologies that we often even see.  A leader needs to consider technologies from the micro to the macro level.  Life-long learning and training are required so that all stakeholders feel comfortable using the technologies available and can troubleshoot also.]]> 2019-03-16 21:15:05 UTC https://padlet.com/davidcsledge/jacvhoo7puio/wish/342047822 2- Why stop at 24 hours? I think this exercise could be proactive rather than reactive at work. davidcsledge https://padlet.com/davidcsledge/jacvhoo7puio/wish/342047999 Why not schedule time for technology usage through every class?  Throughout the academic year?  Rather than focus on technology just as something that we use, why not foster dialogue understand the role of technology in education, and in our lives. I am already talking to my employer about how we can utilize apps more to enhance our ability to communicate with clients!]]> 2019-03-16 21:16:55 UTC https://padlet.com/davidcsledge/jacvhoo7puio/wish/342047999 1- Recycling is a part of technology davidcsledge https://padlet.com/davidcsledge/jacvhoo7puio/wish/342049411 Because so many things we use are made out of plastic, and technologies are evolving so fast, we MUST be proactive about reducing waste from the technologies that are rapidly advancing.  How much longer will be keep throwing our old smartphones & computers into landfills?  Leaders should actively motivate their institution to be more responsible about ecological issues.]]> 2019-03-16 21:32:34 UTC https://padlet.com/davidcsledge/jacvhoo7puio/wish/342049411 3- ISTE: not recommended, but required davidcsledge https://padlet.com/davidcsledge/jacvhoo7puio/wish/342049704 Writing the paper on the 14 conditions recommended by ISTE was a challenge, but also a learning experience because I had never really thought about how much technology is part of an architecture school, to the extent that it is part of the life-blood of the educational environment!  A leader must have a plan for the implementation and maintenance of technologies in any organization.  Shared Vision is critical!]]> 2019-03-16 21:36:11 UTC https://padlet.com/davidcsledge/jacvhoo7puio/wish/342049704 2- Neuro-Teach! davidcsledge https://padlet.com/davidcsledge/jacvhoo7puio/wish/342050081 I loved learning about neuro-teaching! It was revelatory and fascinating.  I feel that my teaching will greatly benefit!  I have already started sharing these insights with the design team at work.]]> 2019-03-16 21:41:31 UTC https://padlet.com/davidcsledge/jacvhoo7puio/wish/342050081 3- Technology can spark creativity and innovation. davidcsledge https://padlet.com/davidcsledge/jacvhoo7puio/wish/342050455 There was a lot of information in this course to digest. I feel that I will be unpacking it all for quite some time. But one thing is certain- I will make more effort to utilize a wider range of technologies, especially apps from now on.]]> 2019-03-16 21:46:15 UTC https://padlet.com/davidcsledge/jacvhoo7puio/wish/342050455 1- Technology is rapidly advancing davidcsledge https://padlet.com/davidcsledge/jacvhoo7puio/wish/342051126 The advancements in technology are happening so fast, that we can barely keep up, but we must try.  I see it as a way to stay relevant and connect with my students and other design professionals. Moreover, design and technology go hand-in-hand for architecture. I can do better at integrating modern technologies into my own work, and making it a teaching priority as well.]]> 2019-03-16 21:55:54 UTC https://padlet.com/davidcsledge/jacvhoo7puio/wish/342051126 1- We are more connected now than ever in human history. davidcsledge https://padlet.com/davidcsledge/jacvhoo7puio/wish/342051657 Yet this can also create problems such as fatigue, distraction, and pressure to respond to every ICT competing for attention.]]> 2019-03-16 22:02:35 UTC https://padlet.com/davidcsledge/jacvhoo7puio/wish/342051657 1- THINK about technologies we take for granted. davidcsledge https://padlet.com/davidcsledge/jacvhoo7puio/wish/342053297 If we all think about how much energy we are consuming, then perhaps we would be much more judicious with its usage, and that includes every technology.  We so easily forget that every manmade thing comes from resources that often can not be replaced. I think "energy" and digital media such as ICT and WBL must be incorporated into architecture curriculums, and all institutions for that matter, because of climate change and accumulating waste.]]> 2019-03-16 22:22:27 UTC https://padlet.com/davidcsledge/jacvhoo7puio/wish/342053297 2- Architecture Is Technology. davidcsledge https://padlet.com/davidcsledge/jacvhoo7puio/wish/342054760 This class has sparked my imagination about how architecture can help lead the way forward using internet-based technologies. Unfortunately we usually see this in advertisements or surveillance, but I predict that smart-walls will soon be as common as smart-watches.  Rather than lag behind, I think we should provide guidance and leadership and education. I am helping my coworkers think creatively about how we include technological advancements in our architectural work from the earliest schematic designs now.
