I have learn that technology is important. I will research some of the website given in this lesson to see if I will be able to utilize with the online platform.
Technology can enhance what we do or hinder us if we are not familiar with how to use it correctly. I've used VR, Flipgrid, Yellowdig, drive shares and other simulations type software. Each independently brings something to the table. Each one shouldn't be used all by itself. The variety is the key component to a good classroom space.
Comment on Lori Riordan's post: Agree!! Using this technology appropriately is key for instructors!
We continue to enhance our online courses with whatever is new.
Technology will continue to evolve, so as educators and administrators, one must learn new ways to effectively use it for solid communication and to make those personal connections with others. I have learned so many different, new technology resources in the past 8-10 years, it gets overwhelming as to what would be the best fit for my courses as "too many" different formats can be "too many" within a curriculum design.
Research on social presence offers information that can enhance one’s ability to foster interpersonal connections through technology.
"Communicating with students through technology is quite different from in-person interactions." "Online students frequently practice TMC through discussion threads, emails, chat/IM, text, and video using smartphones, mobile devices, laptops, and desktop computers. TMC is such a core element of online learning, it is surprising how few education professionals are ever trained in this regard.
I plan to continue the use of technology-mediated communication. All components of it are great for engaging today's learners. From the discussion threads to the informative emails.
Online presense connects us to being human, and somehow, we have lost a little bit of that online.
En el presente módulo he aprendido la forma correcta de abordar las diferentes situaciones o problemas que se presentan con los estudiantes y poder atenderlos oportunamente
Technology plays a fundamental role in the new way in which we access education. It will always have its pros and cons, but without a doubt the preparation of the team to serve the student in a better way will make the difference.
En este Modulo he aprendido que la tecnologia utilizada adecuadamente puede ayudarnos a transmitir ideas y establecer contactos de una forna bastante semejante a una situación cara a cara.
Como docentes debemos conocer las tendencias de la tecnologia usadas para en aprendizaje y permanecer alertas a las distintas maneras en que podemos asistir adecuadamente a nuestros estudiantes
La comunicacion mediada por la tecnología es la que se utiliza en los entornos virtuales de aprendizaje por tanto es indispensable que tanto docentes como estudiantes sean capaces de redacsr mensajes apropidados y además sean capaces de interpretar estos mensajes.

Hola Amy, comparto su interés por conocer las tendencias en educación en línea. Al reflexionar sobre esto creo que no he estado haciendo la debida actualización.
Por otra parte, también debo mejorar mi presencial social, me he propuesto hacer videos de bienvenida en mis cursos en línea para que mis estudiantes me conozcan y puedan ver ese "lenguaje no verbal" para poder transmitirles confianza.
La tecnología está cambiando constantemente, por ello los instructores debemos estar pendientes de las tendencias tecnológicas para utilizarlas en la retención de los estudiantes. Para ello podemos hacer uso de diferentes sitios que proporcionan noticias, conferencias, talleres, seminarios, programas de certificación para educadores.
La comunicación mediada por la tecnología (TMC) no solamente consiste en enviar mensajes por correo electrónico y listo. La educación en línea requiere tener una presencia social para que los estudiantes sientan que no se les considera como un número más, sino como personas que se están comunicando con seres humanos reales en entornos virtuales. El video es uno de los medios que mejor apoyan la presencia social.
Como instructores debemos reflexionar sobre nuestro actuar y responder, ¿cómo ha sido hasta ahora mi presencia social en los cursos en línea?
Los videos en presencia social son muy efectivos con nuestros estudiantes, nosotros lo llevamos a nuestro mundo y a ellos les gusta.
technology is important for learning at this stage of history, students manage different platforms and media, now education does not require going to a classroom.
Good evening: this chapter has left me a great learning. I am very interested in learning about trends in online education as well as breaking the ice on screens through social presence. It has motivated me to make more content with human warmth.
Thank you very much.
Technology is very important in an online course and as tutors we must create a possitive relationship and connections with our students through technology.
I have understood that the fact of being updated and trained on the latest technological trends is very important to be up to date with the use of tools that can support and facilitate our academic training processes.
Actually, communication mediated by technology has been a challenge since we must be careful to analyze how messages are interpreted and to what extent they can influence students, as explained in the material, text-based social presence lacks signals which makes them more difficult to interpret if they are not done correctly unlike a video through which we can transmit visual signals and body language which facilitates communication and what we want to share and this can change the way we that our message is interpreted by our students.
