I really enjoyed my first article and feel it was a great place to "dive in." I started broad on purpose, as I really don't know what my focus will be. I can't wait to read more and find out! Read on...
Wynn, Gary. (2008). Avenues to Success – Developing a Thriving Technology Education Program [Electronic version]. The Technology Teacher. 5. 29-33
Avenues to Success, by Gary Wynn, focuses on the role of technology education and how it has changed in the last thirty years. The intended audience is anyone in education, specifically technology educators. I found this article to be a great starting point. It gives an outline on how to create a thriving technology program. Specifically, I found the concluding paragraph to be the most helpful. The author sums up his article well here and offers what I belive is great advice. It was helpful to hear him conclude by saying that a thriving technology program does not happen overnight. Having a vision and working as a team will lead to the success of the program. The author also found that it is important to involve staff from all areas of the school while creating the program in order for it to be a success. This is a great article to read as I begin my job of creating a thriving technology program at my school. The author of the article is absolutely credible, as he is a technology education instructor at the school written about.
