As each year passes, we see more and more technology incorporated and accepted at all levels of education. I find that in Adult Ed. we tend to be a little bit slower at adapting to the world around us, even though we are supposed to be educating them. I feel the most important people we need to educate are our administrators. Without their support, technolgy gets put on the wayside and an opportunity to advance our teaching styles are lost. It's frustrating being a tech mentor in a institution that doesn't clearly see the potentials technology has to offer. What makes our administrators so slow to see this?
