Prompt 3: The Impact of Digital Technologies

A Look Back at Week Two

I know, I know — this week went fast didn’t it? As spring gets closer and our days get longer, they sure do feel shorter. Fewer of you responded to Prompt 2 and I’m hopeful we’ll see some additional posts show up in our blog feed soon. Remember to include #CCCWrite in your post somewhere, ok? That is part of what triggers your post to appear in our blog feed.

On to Week 3!

Here is your prompt for Week 3: February 9-15.

In recent years, digital tools have changed what we do and how we do it. When I started teaching in 2002, I never would have dreamed that I’d be sharing videos of myself and reflecting with educators around the world through something called a blog. Yet, here we are! For this post, take some time to reflect on your professional role (or roles) and the ways that digital technologies have impacted you.

In your Week 3 blog post,

• Compare your current professional experiences with your professional experiences at the beginning of your career.
• Discuss how digital technologies have impacted what you do professionally and how you do it.
• Has your professional identity shifted at all as a result of the emergence of digital technologies? What about who you interact with and how you interact with them?

Before next Friday, February 16th, complete all 4 steps on the Weekly Assignment list.
