Virtual Leadership

As I was doing the readings for this week, all I could think about was how truly technology has pervaded every bit of our lives. In our office, if one of our computers is down, we are completely lost; we don't know what to do with our time without them. Over the summer, I added a virtual leadership series to the leadership certificate program that I coordinate. It covers things like webinars and social media as well as using office technology. It is surprising to me from what I've seen in this track and what I've seen from working with students in general how little they actually know about technology. Is this a deviation from the digital native theory? I think many of them are better able to learn new technological skills than those from earlier generations, so perhaps not. What do you think?
