Work, Work, Work
I just looked at the current work schedule at the EdTech lab and realized I have pretty good hours. I get around 12-14 hours a week (depends on if I stay during lab classes) in only two days a week. This involves extremely full Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, but Wednesdays are AWESOME!!! I have classes from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and a free afternoon. Now I will have time for all my lab/project classes (I consider three of my classes to be project classes). I still have hardly any free time, but I manage somehow.
Work at the lab is fairly simple so far. It is not a computer or technology department, so not much technical assistance is required. Most of the assistance we provide is with Excel or PowerPoint. The computers are all identical, making hardware replacement, software installation and imaging a breeze.
The lab was made to be almost “futuristic”. It is filled with overkill electronics. For instance, we have a Smart Board–a digital touchscreen whiteboard, and a touchscreen power control center (to dim lights, etc.). This is all for the purpose of educating tomorrows teachers with the skills required in high-tech environments. All these students are basically learning what they will use if they don’t teach elementary in the Adventist system.
