It pisses me off when people think that they can just ride on the coattails of a few individuals that care about the quality of work produced. Anyways, I just hope I don't have to deal with that too much out in the workplace. As of right now, I don't possess superior technological skills. I don't know any college student that can't do those things. I always like to try new things and learn about different things so within the next few years I hope to learn some programming code, more about web design, and whatever else stimulates my interests.
Technology opens many doors to success.
Set up your class as a forum for learning. Stop making students regurgitate back to you the repetitive information presented in chapters 20-44. Grading should hold a bell curve based on comparative analysis of students. Introduce the long lost concept of creativity centered around student insight. Let students do projects and group work that brings concept and practice together to equate to a real world situation.
