Assessment of Technological Abilities of JDHS

One of our assignments was to analyze the technological abilities of JDHS. What follows are my thoughts on the project.

I gained a decent amount of knowledge and wisdom from this project, however most of the information I had already known. One thing that I find interesting is that my school has a technology guru on the job at all times. When my parents were in school, there is a good chance that the job never existed! My host teacher informed me when we were discussing computers in school that he wasn't consulted at all about the computers the district provides the teachers. He would have opted for a laptop, but instead was given a giant desktop the size of a small refrigerator. On top of this, the internet on his computer is frustratingly slow, and the school-wide software program that covers attendance and student grades malfunctions an absurd amount. Thanks to technological advancement, however, in the near future these problems will be fixed!
