Before this week I have never heard of a brick in the way we are using it. I see a great deal of value in employing a brick because it’s a tool that is simple and easy to understand. When using a brick you have a systematic approach that could be used for almost anything from technology to curriculum we use in the classroom. As I was collecting data to complete my brick I found it to be a great tool to stay in sync with new and evolving trends no matter what you have dialed in on the brick. When I collected my information from IT personnel I asked them if they have ever used a brick. The IT person had no idea what it was, maybe because he was younger. I begin to fill out the brick in front of him we both realized how simple, but yet how critical this tool was. By following the brick approach it allows you to stay informed with emerging technologies that look promising for your organization. This process also allows you to use strategies on what to do over the next 2-5 years with existing technology and new technology. Bricks could also be used to categorize the life-cycle of things other than technologies. There is only six sections to the brick, but you will be able to forecast and analyze almost anything from planning and communication. Using the brick will categorize the life-cycle of many programs and applications we use in our school and district. This in turn will help use the most out of your product so you do not waste resources. Once you have exalted your product and received the maximum out of it you can retire it. So not only is the brick keeping you in sync with new technology it also can assist you in getting the most out of your recourse.
