BENEFITS OF COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY TO THE WORLD OF EDUCATION
New recent conversation with a professor who teaches communications. He said that he used the computer for typing purposes, make presentations, and listening to songs on youtube. Educators and Change Period
He's not much use social media such as twitter and others. Although I am not an expert on communication, I think there are a lot of new communication patterns are evolving. After the outbreak of social media communication theory that long may have been updated by a new communication theories. Times change, and science is also constantly evolving. An educator needs to realize this, at least to be a motivation to continue learning.
My conversation with the professor reminds me of the encounter with a teacher, about a year ago. In a training organized by the Indonesian Teachers Association (IGI), I met with a female teacher. He was probably more than 50 years. Her hair is white. His eyes were a little glazed. He told me that he was not actively teaching. Now difficult for him to find work.
"What are you teach?" Asked me.
The woman said that her expertise is teaching shorthand. Shorthand is a way of writing concise and fast, usually used to copy the conversation (www.wikipedia.org). Once students learn vocational department secretary. Also journalists. Now they have not learned it again. Now it appears that the role of stenography replaced by a voice recorder, video, or the ability to type quickly. So, maybe not so many users stenography.
"Can you use a computer?" I asked, curious.
The woman said that she could not use a computer. Typing could not. His expertise is stenography.
"If there are vacancies for teaching stenography please let me know yah!" He hoped.
I do not doubt the capabilities of both educators. They are experts in their respective fields. Eager to learn they were still high. The communications lecturer had asked me to write some website addresses that could be used as a reference for learning while the teacher steografi still eager to follow the various teacher training. However, times are changing so fast. What they have learned over the years and make them "successful" in the past apparently no longer valued as it once was.
My second encounter with the educator leaves a lot of questions in my mind. How about the first science we learn now is not useful anymore? What if the work once we consider important now begin to disappear? Is sciences that we consider important indeed be as important in the future? What do our students learn in school really will they need? The times have changed, so how educators should deal with it?
