Technology in Education

I think technology in education is a wonderful tool, that is only expanding. For example, I attend the LCCC as a 3/4 time student online. If the LCCC did not have the technology to have online classes, I would not be able to return back to school. With family and work schedules, I think many students feel this way. In an email recently, the LCCC stated that you could now sign up for school information to be sent to your mobile phone, alerting you to pertinent information. That is just a great way to "get the word out" quickly to many students. Some of the new technology is hard to get used to, but I guess it is like everything else. I have never used anything like SECOND LIFE before, but hopefully I will get used to it quickly. About ten years ago, it was hard to learn how to open and send emails, now everyone does it. Even the older generation is getting involved with the latest technology. I give credit to the LCCC for keeping up with all the technology and making it available to students.
