So, after my exploration I found one blog that Wilber mentions that I really like. A Plethora of Technology is a pretty cool site; unfortunately, there hasn't been a new post since October 2012. However, it has some really versatile topics. One that I liked in particular was titled "What to Try Regarding Young IT Haters." It brought the realistic view of IT workers and what us tech-challenged should expect, or stop expecting. For example, I know that I want a fast answer because in my mind these people should know exactly what the problem is immediately after they see my computer. However, this is not realistic. These workers are dealing with computers. They are a science, and as far as I know, not many scienctist figure out the answers to a hypothesis or problem within ten minutes. It takes a little time to do it right, and we should realize that IT workers have to go through the scientific process in their jobs as well.
While I do not know if I would be capable of producing a blog like this one; I do see the value in doing something similar. Maybe I could create a blog that helps non-teachers better understand a teacher's daily life and what we (will) go through regarding parents, students, and classroom struggles. I think looking around the web at different blogs helps to spark idea like this one, and can be an enlightening experience. Hey, without exploration (which seems to be my theme this week) I would not have been politely put in place regarding IT support.
