As a 23-year-old teacher only a year out of college, I don’t really consider myself a very tech-savvy person. I know how to use a computer as well as navigate a good portion of the Internet. I’m quickly learning how to use InDesign. I picked up online platforms pretty quickly for virtual learning, like Google Classroom and Zoom. I’ve been using Google resources like Docs, Forms, Slides, and Sheets for a long time, so it came intuitively to me.

作为一名大学毕业仅一年的23岁老师，我并不认为自己是一个非常精通技术的人。 我知道如何使用计算机以及如何浏览互联网的大部分内容。 我正在快速学习如何使用InDesign。 我很快就选择了在线平台来进行虚拟学习，例如Google课堂和Zoom。 我使用Google文档，表格，幻灯片和表格等Google资源已有很长时间了，因此它很直观。

However, that wasn’t the perception some people had. Last year, one day, one of the older teachers I had a great relationship with caught me as I was leaving the school building and asked if I could help her with some of the tech problems she was having. She needed help setting up her Smartboard, connecting her desktop to the projector, and using an HDMI splitter so she could use her computer and have a projection onto the Smartboard simultaneously.

但是，那不是某些人的看法。 去年，有一天，当我离开学校大楼时，我与一位年纪较大的老师发生了深深的联系，并问我是否可以帮助她解决她遇到的一些技术问题。 她需要帮助来设置她的Smartboard，将她的桌面连接到投影仪以及使用HDMI分配器，以便她可以使用她的计算机并同时在Smartboard上进行投影。

I wasn’t as good in the classroom management and pedagogy, so I always sought out older teachers’ help. I talked with them and asked them for help, so I was more than willing to help with any tech-related issues.

我在课堂管理和教学法上不怎么出色，所以我一直在寻求年长的老师的帮助。 我与他们交谈并向他们寻求帮助，因此我非常乐意为任何与技术相关的问题提供帮助。

Again, I’m not a tech wizard by any stretch. But we didn’t have an IT guy, per se, and any ticket we put into the IT Department could take a pretty long time to process. The older teacher needed to use her projector tomorrow. I remember that all I did was plug in an HDMI and VGA cord and her computer screen started showing on the projector.

同样，我绝不是技术向导。 但是，我们本身没有IT人员，我们放入IT部门的任何票证都可能需要很长时间才能处理。 年长的老师明天需要使用她的投影仪。 我记得我所做的只是插入HDMI和VGA线，并且她的计算机屏幕开始显示在投影机上。

I didn’t really do much. At least I didn’t feel like it.

我并没有做太多。 至少我不喜欢它。

However, in the next week, about three different teachers would approach me during my planning period or after school for help with their projectors or any help with their computers. I obliged, but I had to say no a couple of times because I had things to do for myself and my students.

但是，在下周，在我的计划期间或放学后，大约有三位不同的老师会来找我，以帮助他们使用投影机或计算机。 我有义务，但是我不得不说两次，因为我有为自己和学生做的事情。

However, whenever I did help, it didn’t take very long. Most of the time, the solutions were pretty simple, whether it meant plugging something in, like an HDMI cord, or giving some quick instructions as I showed a colleague how to use Google Docs or Google Slides.

但是，每当我提供帮助时，都不会花很长时间。 大多数情况下，解决方案非常简单，无论是插入诸如HDMI线之类的东西，还是在我向同事展示如何使用Google Docs或Google Slides时给出一些快速说明。

I quickly became known as the unofficial “IT guy” in the school. One morning, during a staff meeting, the older teacher who stopped me just as I was out the door sung my praises for how I helped her, as if I turned water into wine. I was confused, but still flattered.

我很快在学校被称为非正式的“ IT专家”。 一天早上，在一次员工会议上，一位年长的老师在我出门时拦住了我，赞扬了我对她的帮助，就像我将水变成了酒一样。 我很困惑，但仍然很受宠若惊。

No, I wasn’t the best person at IT. Still, it got to the point that my assistant principal asked me to connect her computer to the projector during a professional development training. Again, I remember I just had to plug in a cord and it was pretty simple. It would have been nice to get paid extra as the IT guy of the building, but I had enough to do daily that I had to say no to other teachers’ requests frequently.

不，我不是IT方面的最佳人选。 仍然要指出的是，我的副校长要求我在进行专业开发培训时将其计算机连接到投影仪。 同样，我记得我只需要插入电源线，这非常简单。 作为大楼的IT员工，能获得额外报酬是很不错的，但是我每天必须做的事很多，不得不频繁拒绝其他老师的要求。

Going to college recently and being young, I had to do these kinds of things daily, and I was somewhat surprised, so many of my colleagues didn’t know how to use Google Docs, plug in an HDMI cord, or how to mute themselves on Zoom.

我最近刚上大学，还很年轻，所以每天都必须做这些事情，这让我有些惊讶，所以很多同事都不知道如何使用Google文档，插入HDMI线或如何使其静音。缩放。

Teaching and education later went virtual in the spring during COVID, and these divides became even more pronounced. My older colleagues struggled with technology and using many of the digital platforms we were using. They struggled to find links to staff meetings.

后来，在SpringCOVID期间，教学和教育变得虚拟化，这些鸿沟变得更加明显。 我的老同事们在技术和使用我们正在使用的许多数字平台方面苦苦挣扎。 他们努力寻找与员工会议的链接。

At this point, I realized how privileged I am, particularly in the new digital, virtual environment. I grew up with a lot of technology. I’m not a wiz by any stretch, but I feel like I have a firm grasp of the basics. The most significant advantage I have in the new tech-centered world of education is my age.

至此，我意识到自己有多特权，尤其是在新的数字虚拟环境中。 我从小就拥有很多技术。 我绝不是一个智商，但我觉得我对基础知识有很扎实的把握。 在以技术为中心的新教育世界中，我最大的优势就是我的年龄。

When I taught summer school last year, I was 22. One of my students was 20. I was legitimately only two years older than my student, so it was difficult for him to see me as an authority figure. However, my youth has been an asset due to being open to new forms of technology and modern teaching methods.

去年，当我在暑期学校任教时，我当时22岁。我的一名学生当时是20岁。我的确合法地比我的学生大两岁，因此他很难将我视为权威人物。 但是，由于对新技术和现代教学方法持开放态度，所以我的青年时代就很有价值。

I’m well aware I won’t be 23 forever and that one day, I might be the teacher who struggles with how to plug in a cord to connect a computer to the projector in 2050.

我很清楚自己不会永远成为23岁，有一天，我可能会成为一位老师，他在2050年时如何插入电源线以将计算机连接到投影机方面颇为挣扎。

But this is the world we live in right now, and I frequently hear from other teachers anxiety and trepidation to experiment with new digital platforms. Keeping a growth mindset and recognizing that you’re also a student and learning has been necessary. I learn something new every single day. Just yesterday, I learned how to access a critical resource I didn’t know about my entire first year to find my curriculum. If you don’t adapt, you’ll never grow.

但这是我们现在生活的世界，我经常听到其他老师的不安和恐惧，他们正在尝试使用新的数字平台。 保持成长心态并认识到您也是学生，学习是必要的。 我每天都学到新东西。 就在昨天，我学会了如何访问我整个第一年都不知道的重要资源来查找课程。 如果您不适应，您将永远无法成长。

As a teacher, I have never understood the pettiness that many teachers feel towards each other, like disapproval of someone else’s classroom management strategy or an unwillingness to work with someone. Teaching is hard enough alone. Collaboration makes it much more manageable. Everyone has a strength — while I was better at technology, my older colleagues who had 25 to 30 years of teaching experience were better in the classroom and executing good lessons.

作为一名老师，我从未理解过许多老师彼此之间的琐碎感，例如不赞成别人的课堂管理策略或不愿意与别人合作。 一个人就很难教书。 协作使它更易于管理。 每个人都有力量-虽然我在技术方面更擅长，但我有25至30年教学经验的年长同事在课堂上表现更好，并且执行了很好的课程。

After all, we are all in this together. That’s why I never minded being the unofficial IT guy at my old school. Having good relationships with your colleagues has always been a deal-breaker in every job I’ve worked in. After all, you’re going to spend a lot of time working with other teachers. You want them to have your back, and you want to have their back in return. For that reason, I have always avoided petty politics and drama in the workplace. I have seen firsthand, at every school, how much politics there is, and while I understand it, I want nothing to do with it.

毕竟，我们在一起。 这就是为什么我从不介意在我的旧学校当非正式的IT专家。 与您的同事保持良好关系一直是我从事的每项工作中的关键。毕竟，您将花费大量时间与其他老师一起工作。 您想要他们的后背，而您想要他们的后背。 出于这个原因，我一直在工作场所避免小政治和戏剧。 我已经亲眼目睹了每所学校中有多少政治，尽管据我所知，我却不想与之有关。

But back to learning technology in the digital learning space. One Twitter use, Nyla Danae, tweeted to remind us to have more patience and empathy for older teachers. Her father, a 53-year-old teacher, calls her every day to practice with new technology to teach online effectively:

但是回到数字学习空间中的学习技术。 Twitter上的一个使用者Nyla Danae在推文中提醒我们，对年长的老师要有更多的耐心和同情心。 她的父亲是一位53岁的老师，每天打电话给她练习新技术，以有效地在线教学：

Twitter Twitter上的 @nyla_danae

A little empathy and compassion go a long way, and being a resource to my older teacher colleagues for tech help is something I don’t mind. They’re a tremendous resource to me in classroom management. But it’s not always of aid to each other in the technical sense, but relational: I’m still talking every day and friends with many of my co-workers from last year. We learned a lot from each other, and we went through the same experiences in our school building.

有点同理心和同情心会走很长一段路，我不介意让年长的老师同事寻求技术帮助。 在我的课堂管理中，它们是我的宝贵资源。 但这并不总是在技术上互相帮助，而是相互联系：我仍然每天与来自去年的许多同事和朋友聊天。 我们互相学习了很多，并且在学校大楼里也经历了同样的经历。

“Teachers are not superheroes. They’re human beings. They cannot be expected to have everything down pat and perfect during this time of upheaval and uncertainty,” Robin Zlotnick writes on Distractify

“老师不是超级英雄。 他们是人类。 在动荡和不确定的时期，不能指望他们拥有完美的一切，” Robin Zlotnick在Distractify上写道

Regardless, everyone is learning and adapting. It’s not like it’s a walk in the park for me as a younger teacher either because it is significantly different than physically teaching. I know that every teacher out there is trying and trying very hard. That’s why all teachers should give ourselves, and each other, some grace.

无论如何，每个人都在学习和适应。 作为一个年轻的老师，这对我来说不像是在公园散步，因为这与体育教学有很大不同。 我知道那里的每个老师都在努力，而且非常努力。 这就是为什么所有老师都应该给自己和彼此加一些恩典的原因。
