(From EDD 7914 Blog#3)
On December 19, 2013, I packed up my family, including the dog and dove, and headed out for a grand adventure. You see, as an education technologist, my every moment in the workplace is learning about technology, inventing stuff based from technology, exploring the potential of technology I have and the technology I want, breaking up with technology, and reassuring the non-techies, or noobs as they are affectionately(?) known, that technology won’t bite. I love technology. I also hate technology. It’s like the feeling one gets when they have a crush on someone who doesn’t even know they exist, and let’s face it, they’re really kind of jerks to the folks around them anyway. You just can’t help but swoon, and yet realize the relationship wouldn’t ever last. Technology is most definitely my boyfriend, and I’d been told by colleagues that perhaps technology and I needed a little distance from each other- a week-long break up, if you will.
