      This comment does not align with the fact that "helpdesk" models have changed drastically by all software. Perhaps a place for a future business opportunity...? I would say, when it comes to seeking answers for google apps questions, I have always found the answer within a few clicks and searches. There is a good tech support sytem, it just doesn't look and feel the same as the old model.

      This fear factor reasoning not only denies students access to the tools that will aid their learning, but it it also sets them up for troubles and potential failure in that they don't learn cyber responsibility in a guided way, but are left to the very "wolves" we think we are protecting them from.  "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil"  that's our current motto in education.

  • Of these, errors of omission are usually the most costly because it is harder to correct a missed opportunity than to correct something that has been done.

  • Thus, those who want to avoid errors in an organization that define mistakes as a bad – if not punishable – thing find that to maximize their job security they should do as little as possible.” (Ackoff & Greenberg, p.7575)
  • There are and should be no more excuses, just swiftly planned action to put technology in the hands of every student for use whenever there is a need.
