4. Mini Report :
On 24th November 2020, Azman Hashim Internation Business School held an online program called Embracing Challenges For Future Management Of Technology Students on Cisco Webex. This program taught us about the future upcoming challenges that we as a Management of Technology Students must face and how to cope up with all the future challenges. Here are few of the challenges that were shared throughout the program. The first challenge is professional development. Key among all challenges is the lack of adequate, ongoing professional development for teachers who are required to integrate new technologies into their classrooms yet who are unprepared or unable to understand new technologies. Besides that, resistance to change in technology. Resistance to change is the action taken by individuals and groups when they perceive that a change that is occurring as a threat to them. Finally, different social dynamics. Technology adds complexity to everything–support, teaching, learning, budgets, etc. It’s inherently ‘disruptive.’ However, we must overcome these challenges and learn from it. Technology encourages students to collaborate more, affording them the opportunity to communicate, work on team projects and share their strengths regardless of time or location.
5. Reflection :
Throughout joining this program, several lessons were given and can be used in the near future of Management of Technology students when entering the working environment after finishing their studies. Technology is the sum of techniques, skills, methods, and processes used in the production of goods or services or in the accomplishment of objectives. Technology encourages students to collaborate more, affording them the opportunity to communicate, work on team projects and share their strengths regardless of time or location. Throughout their educational and professional careers, there will be many situations where teamwork and collaboration are necessary. With the incorporation of technology into schools, the main purpose is to change how teachers and students gather, access, analyse, present and transmit information.
