Mastering Technology Literacy
  • What became obvious as we walked the aisles
    at CES was the comprehensive impact that
    technology is now playing in all aspects of our
    business, professional, family, and personal
    lives.
  • Technology literally is everywhere we turn. It
    impacts all aspects of our lives.
  • To maximize our effectiveness, all of us need to
    be literate about technology.
  • And perhaps we should be thinking about
    technology literacy as an educational issue
    impacting all K-State students

Meeting the Technology Literacy Challenge
1996
  • All teachers in the nation will have the training
    and support they need to help students learn
    using computers and the information superhighway.
  • All teachers and students will have modern
    multimedia computers in their classrooms.
  • Every classroom will be connected to the
    information superhighway.
  • Effective software and online learning resources
    can increase students learning opportunities,
    but they must be high quality, engaging, and
    directly related to the schools curriculum.

Center for Technology Literacy
  • College of Technology at the University of
    Houston, TX. http//www.texastechnology.com/CTL/ct
    l.htm
  • Mission Statement
    To
    enhance the understanding of technology activity
    in individuals and organizations and to conduct
    research on the development of a technologically
    literate citizenry. The CTL will serve as a
    research center for examining the issues and
    practices related to the development of a
    technologically literate society. Little
    emphasis has been placed on the processes and
    problems associated with the prolific deployment
    of technology and a resultant dependency on
    technology. Additionally, little research has
    been conducted on how these processes can be
    optimized to lead to an overall and sustainable
    improvement in the quality of life of individuals
    and societies.

Internalizing Creativity Why Learn
about Creativity?
  • Trade shows like CES that showcase new products
    provide ample testimony to the second point made
    by Buffalo States Center for Studies in
    Creativity namely, that generating new ideas
    and bringing them to market is now seen as the
    central task of corporate management.
  • Perhaps we should consider ways to help K-State
    students develop their creative problem solving
    abilities which might improve their competitive
    position in the job market.

21
Why study creativity?
  • The International Center for Studies in
    Creativity at Buffalo State College/State
    University of New York is one of the seminal
    institutions in the study of creative problem
    solving. The Center offers these twelve reasons
    for studying creativity
  • Develop Your Potential Beyond the Boundaries of
    Intelligence. Expand on your abilities. Develop
    all of your potential!
  • Rapid Growth of Competition in Business and
    Industry. In a world of increasing complexity,
    change, and competition, generating new ideas and
    bringing them to market is now seen as the
    central task of corporate management. Successful
    businesses are the ones that instill creativity
    throughout the organization

22
Why study creativity? (cont)
  • Effective Use of Human Resources. Creativity
    is a human resource which exists in all
    organizations. To survive in today's economy, it
    is imperative for an organization to nurture
    the creative potential of its human resources.
  • Discover New and Better Ways to Solve Problems.
    More and more, the problems you face are complex
    and open-ended. Knowledge alone isn't enough to
    reach innovative solutions. Creative thinking
    skills are required.
  • Development of Society. Creativity is a central
    factor in our ability to continue to adapt to the
    changing environment. If a nation actively seeks
    to nurture creativity, it will play a part in
    making history.

23
Why study creativity? (cont)
  • Builds on the Nature of Knowledge. Creativity
    skills can assist an individual in enhancing his
    or her knowledge base. Without creative
    thinking, an individual is condemned to stay
    within the knowledge base as it is given.
  • Natural Human Phenomenon. Creativity is very
    democratic! Everyone has some, but to varying
    levels and degrees. Furthermore, we know this
    ability can be enhanced.
  • Important Aspect of Mental Health. Individuals
    who are capable of incorporating creativity into
    their lives can enjoy the experience of
    discovering, developing, and utilizing their many
    talents. Skills relevant to creativity are also
    useful in coping with life's challenges
    Creative thinking
    is a critical life skill.

24
Why study creativity? (cont)
  • Growing Body of Interest. There is a growing
    body of literature that represents impressive
    progress in understanding the nature of
    creativity. Moreover, there have been a large
    number of national and international conferences
    on creativity for more than 50 years.
  • Builds on All Disciplines. Creativity is in all
    fields from chemistry to engineering, education
    to computer science, sociology to business.

The Patent Scoreboard 2003
  • Created by Technology Review magazine and CHI
    Research, it is an industry-by-industry
    ranking of corporate patent portfolios.
  • Current-Impact Index
    This measure showcases the
    broader significance of a companys patents by
    examining how often its U.S. patents from the
    previous five years are cited as prior art in the
    current years batch of patents. A value of 1.0
    represents the average citation frequency, so,
    for example, a value of 1.4 would indicate a
    companys patents were cited 40 percent more
    often than the average.

Learning Digitese
  • Is digitese the language of the future?
  • In watching contemporaries go through medical
    school at the KU Med Center, I was struck by
    what a large component of their initial medical
    education was devoted to learning the
    vocabulary of medicine.
  • Of the ten product categories on the preceding
    slide, only the personal computer seems to
    require that you actually know how it works as a
    prerequisite for its use.

43
Learning Digitese
  • Here are three Internet tools that can help
  • www.WhatIs.com is an Internet answer tool
    designed to answer the question What is
    __________? about topics related to computers
    and the Internet.
  • www.webopedia.com is an Internet-based, special
    purpose encyclopedia that similarly focuses on
    topics related to computers and the Internet.
  • www.GuruNet.com is an Internet-based reference
    tool accessed from a slide-out bar that is
    constantly available on your screen.
    Highly recommended and its free!
