Two questions…BECAUSE WE CAN LOOK AT THIS IN TWO WAYS
![Page 12: Faculty Enthusiasm for Technology](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c0a081a28ab8e6a8b4636/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
“
”
How do wepromote technology?
This is the easy question. “Did you know that technology can help you?” “No, I did not! Tell me more!”
![Page 13: Faculty Enthusiasm for Technology](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c0a081a28ab8e6a8b4636/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
“
”
How do we promote someone’s intrinsic motivation to more deeply engage in a community or activity that they already profess to value?
That’s a much harder question.
![Page 14: Faculty Enthusiasm for Technology](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c0a081a28ab8e6a8b4636/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Faculty as (a) People vs.Faculty as Persons
(archaic grammatical distinction, irrelevant nowadays)
For our purposes… are we talking about “faculty” as a broad category? Or are we talking about individual faculty members?
Answer: Yes.
Faculty are individuals…and, we need to be able to generalize.
![Page 15: Faculty Enthusiasm for Technology](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c0a081a28ab8e6a8b4636/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Your hands-on task for today…
Grab your index card!
Grab a pen!
On one side, write what you do.
(“I _______.”)
On the other side, write what your faculty do.
(“My faculty ________”)

Eric’s Personal Issue
I love my wife.
I hate that she describes me as“a computer guy”
But if not that… what am I?
(And, what are our faculty?)
![Page 17: Faculty Enthusiasm for Technology](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c0a081a28ab8e6a8b4636/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
“The Identity Question”IF YOU HAVEN’T GUESSED ALREADY, THIS IS GOING TO BE A BIG THEME
![Page 18: Faculty Enthusiasm for Technology](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c0a081a28ab8e6a8b4636/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Question: What do you do?
Hint: Look at your index card.
![Page 19: Faculty Enthusiasm for Technology](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c0a081a28ab8e6a8b4636/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
What does Eric do?
I support learning.
I explore solutions.
I explain reality.
I battle entropy.
I empower faculty.
This last point is loaded with meaning

“
”
Does Mike Rowe know what accomplishment looks like?
There’s a sense of accomplishment in “Dirty Jobs”
![Page 23: Faculty Enthusiasm for Technology](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c0a081a28ab8e6a8b4636/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Q: How do we measure accomplishment?
![Page 24: Faculty Enthusiasm for Technology](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c0a081a28ab8e6a8b4636/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
How do we measure accomplishment?
Is this a “tenure, promotion, etc.” question?
Is this a “metrics” question?
Navigate the differences between “Today, I got that septic tank pumped out” and “Today, I wisely and skillfully used technology to support the Academy”

“What’s In It For Me (or Them)?”
Does it have value?
Then articulate that value!
Does it lack value?
Then why are you making your faculty do it?
![Page 27: Faculty Enthusiasm for Technology](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559c0a081a28ab8e6a8b4636/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
“If there’s no benefit to it,then it’s not a mandate.
It’s not a vision.
It’s a hobby.”
~ ERIC M. LARSON, 2014

“I Tried It and It Didn’t Work!”
Someone sought me out recently to say that she’d tried something I had recommended and it didn’t work. “You need to stop recommending that to people,” she told me. “How many times did you try it?” I asked. “Once……and the students hated it,” she responded.
~ Dr. Maryellen Weimer

Closing thematic bow…
“Faculty Enthusiasm for Technology” can’t and shouldn’t come from/for/within the technology itself.
Technology is a tool that can help us, and our faculty, to grow into a role/identity/”brand”/purpose.
So… what do you think?
