Another week already?

Wow, it's gone by fast. We learned about STL 4, 5, and 6 Tuesday and took the TSA tests Thursday. It was pretty funny to have technology students taking tests on the most basic computer programs and still have a hard time with it. It's been a while since I learned excel. The program look has changed so it was a little more difficult for me to figure out where everything was. Anyway, it was just funny.

STL 4: The cultural, social, economic, and political effects of technology.
STL 5: The effects of technology on the environment.
STL 6: The role of society in the development and use of technology.

It's becoming more and more clear as to why we need to teach these things to our students. If we don't, it will probably take them a lot longer to figure out the connections. We can stem the innovation needed to improve the future.

I am glad you think the SLT are becoming more clear, but what I struggle with is how we might incorporate the principles in a "regular" lesson plan teaching, let's say for example, video editing?!
