We need Digital Tour Guides

We digital incomers exist in a foreign land. The natives - our students - leave us behind with their fluency.  How to keep an open mind and learn from them? I've just written a job description for a 'Digital Tour Guide' to help us understand this new world. I wonder if I can make this happen....

Wanted!  Recent graduate or current student. Passionate about the ways in which IT can be useful in life and learning.  An excellent communicator who can explain technology in an accessible, empathetic manner.  Be an advocate for the IT needs of students and help to improve communication and engagement between University planners and the community of students.

And here's where tact is needed......able to act as a mentor to senior staff, providing practical guidance and demonstrating the value of new technologies.
