Categories and sorts of digital technology (Jan.29)

I will say this assignment seemed easy but it really got me to thinking. First I had to really think about the technology that was in my school. I could have easily gotten a list from our principal but first I wanted to try to generate the list myself. I had to think about what we have and I really surprised myself with how many items I named. I then cross referenced my list with the inventory list from my school. All I can say is we are so fortunate to have all the technology we have at my school! Then my groups started talking about the list and thinking of categories. But as I went back to look at the directions for the assignment I noticed it said "digital" technology so I had to think about what that would be. I'm still not sure I understand the definition of digital technology but I did look up the items on my list to make sure they were digital. After being okay with the digital technology phrase it was time to think of categories. There were many possibilities for categories. Our group tossed around ideas from the simple, hardware or software, to more difficult categories. Realizing that this needed to be categories that would be useful to us we decided on uses. Still more thinking was involved to determine the usage of the technology, but also to recognize how some technology can have several uses. I realize for this "simple" assignment I had to really "think" about technology.
