Virtual High Schools the Future?
Today we talked with the staff of Provost Academy. It was pretty interesting seeing how much thought went into creating these schools. There of course are going to be issues with public schools allowing extracurricular activities because it’s taking business away from their schools. The founder certainly did his research on how to monitor and observer students and the best ways to approach different areas. I wanted to know how they were funded I figured they were state funded but some people didn’t think so, I thought it might have been rude to ask. Overall it does sound better now that I got a glimpse of the processes by which they will run the school. There are a lot of neat ideas and technologies. I think this will be a great improvement over homeschooling normal practices. It will allow the people to have more interacting with others. It will also allow them to become more technology savvy without them really noticing. It will be pretty interesting to see how this works out. And I was really impressed to see how many people signed for a first year test school program.

Don’t hate appreciate
There is a need to become cloud friendly. There is a need to, and not only for your own benefit but it is also vital for learning and teaching purposes. As tech people we need to fallow trends of technology and of the populous. In recent years people have been taking advantage of the “cloud” (internet networks) for many purposes such as replace of hardware, applications, and technology structure. It is easy to keep using the methods that we know and discard the advantages of the new outlook on technology. It kind of like trying teaching an old dog new tricks, it’s hard and sometimes impossible because people don’t want to take the time to learn new methods they are fine with the way things are. This is especially dangerous to tech people it is our duty to keep up with technology and methods of such. We are the go to people for the questions, even if they are obvious questions. New methods create new ways to handle tasks and could help improve performance. They could improve the work place and process lessening the load of tasks and obstacles.
The cloud technologies are breaking down the barriers allowing global access and flexibility. Don’t discard mobile devious as unimportant technologies, virtual worlds, or cloud computing techniques as well. Staying involved helps you stay involved and up-to-date with the possibilities of technology and benefits. Each younger generation is accepting and building of new technology break-throughs accelerating past older generations because they ignore the possibilities and the admirations for their technological abilities.
What new trends and technology do you see the need to focus on?
