Being an Anthropologist




You may find my final report about the Technology Culture at Sitka High at...

For this report, I joined forces with the four other MAT students here at Sitka High School:
  • Kate Coseo - Science

  • Jeff Glase - English

  • Ike Kahler - Math

  • Hillary Seeland - English

We scouted the school and tracked down pertinent information and illustrious persons with knowledge about the technological culture at our school. It seems that many students are tech savvy. In fact, 70-80% of students have a computer and Internet connection at home.

This project really made me open my eyes and look around at just how intertwined digital equipment has become in our daily lives. When I read articles and hear lectures about embracing technology, I find myself resist. It feels like the world as we know it is about to end and an new digital wasteland will soon emerge... However when I just relax, look around, and realize how easily these digital tools fit into life, it seems all right.
