Computer Science. It’s a field that is farly new in the realm of all other things I could be doing. It’s the most advanced technologically (authors addendum: “duh”), and considered to be the pinnacle of learning to some. Why then, do we find teaching practices of days long past still in full effect inside these class rooms? In such a modern field as computer science, why do I not have modern teachers, or at least modern style teachers gracing the fronts of my classrooms. I also happen to work in the department that houses my major, and I am up there alot. When I look around in the offices up there, I can find no one who is under the age of 40. That upsets me, for the reason that it shows that the field for teaching technology (as well as many other things, after doing more looking) has no new life, no energy, and no one to spearhead that next group of professors that will lead the next generation of college students into a higher learning that they can actually use. With these older teachers, come these older teaching ideas, ideas about how class is to be conducted, ideas about how things are supposed to go. The worst part about it all, and it is doubly bad because of the field I am in, is that they can’t use their technology correctly, they rely on their voice and the lectern to provide what I need to learn, rather than what I will be using out there in the real world when I need to do my job that they are training me for.
