Today was day one of two teaching a grad course for UWGB on technology integration. After 8 hours of learning new technology tools and applications, many of the individuals taking the class were completely overwhelmed. With about a half hour left in the class for the day, I could see them starting to have a complete meltdown...without saying anything, I could see it on their faces that they couldn't handle learning or thinking about technology for even one minute more. I have been there and can sympathize with feeling overwhelmed when faced with something new...kind of like how I felt at the start of CEDO510 (Computer Systems & How They Work) and CEDO540 (Decision Making Using Data Collection & Analysis). When trying to think of a lighthearted video to start tomorrow (day 2) out with, this is what I've come up with. I think many of the people in the class will be able to relate to the dad in the video but will hopefully come tomorrow with a good night's sleep and a fresh outlook and ready to learn more with an open mind.
