Hi Phil,
Wow, strong words and yes I agree! but how to do this when there is such a fear factor going on with the older generation. Change is always netoriously difficult to do for many over the years but Change is inevitable and necessary if we are all to keep up with technology especially.
I recently applied for a HOD department job – for which I am in all honesty very well qualified for – I have been out of teaching for about 9 years but in those 9 years I have established myself as an artist, ran property business, marketing business, written and published books. In my letter of application I spoke of social networking and technology etc as well as my experience and qualifications as a teacher including the high results I would achieve. I did not even get short listed! so no interview and no explanation. I am only 44 so surely I am not too old? it is my belief that the mistake I made was to talk about social networking – a no go in schools that are so fearful of such.
Lets stop the fear from taking over NOW – move on – and learn and embrace – its not going to go away and by pretending the iphone, social marketing – face book, twitter do not exist – is surely putting nails in coffins and making a problem that needs to be over turned.
