What’s Wrong With This Picture?
I just completed a newspaper article about a new plan for the use of Technology in school. The plan outlines various steps to help educate students and instructors in today’s technology. Please note that, in Hawai`i, technology hasn’t yet reached the level that exists on the mainland. It isn’t that it doesn’t exist here, just that for various reasons there is a certain resistance to the use of computers. I guess you could refer to many of the people and businesses here as "old school", with the accompanying suspicion most people have towards change.
B’Tude was good enough to accompany me with camera in hand to take some photos to go with my article. Maybe you can pick out the irony in the pictures I’ve included here. 
Here’s a hint: The school’s plan includes additional funding and staff for more computers and a larger lab.
The first picture to the right is in one of our classrooms. A few minutes later the picture on the left is looking down a row of computers in our lab. The clock on the wall in the lab reads 3:30pm, on a Wednesday afternoon.
I wonder what the Board of Directors would think of the fund request if they knew that three of the four students in the lab (who are behind the young lady playing with her Ipod) were playing Warcraft.
To give the school credit, they are taking steps towards bringing the school forward. I’m just not always certain organizations fully examine situations before they decide on a course of action.
