I am really very satisfied with the course I just finished. Even though I have teaching experience, this is a new approach in the educational process. I am ready to use the skills I learned. Keeping in mind that learning has to be a creative cooperative, collaborative process.  I will use the new technologies, and encourage the use of these tools.  It will be a more enjoyable process, and with better results.

As an instructor and have a long practical experience in the optical industry as a dual license optician and optical business owner and general manager abroad, I think by sharing your success and failures and the reasons behind them is the milestone of inspiring students for success. Also, by using the technology in our life practice and its challenges may convert cons into pros. I personally, if I do have the technology resources that's available now, it will make a significant positive change in my own business and will add more achievements.

I teach in a mechanical trade school and all the manuals are going digital the younger students seem fine with this but my older students struggle with the technology.

After completing module 1 of ED 119 Teaching with technology, i realized how much I have to change to teach the millenials. Its exciting and challenging

The section on lab safety and how to address the student was great I plan to give the safety breifign at the beginning of each class and every time we head to lab. The best thing I can do for my studnet is to tell them at teh start of class the ruel of safety in the lab abd then after that I tell the student the rule when we are in lab. I will then instruct  the studnet while in lab on safety when issues arise.

I like to use video case studies for many of my courses.

Great course.

Already using BlackBoard & D2L, incluidng online test grading and gradebooks. Lots of asynchronous discussion exercises and role play scnarios in use in our program.

For me, however, this course opened my eys to use of mobile technology in the class room itself. I will look into the applications that allow me to teach from my Android phone and for students to be more engaged on their own devices.

Excellent segment on "technology happens." Our class rooms are remote and often have poor, intermittant, or no cell reception or WiFi. Always have a back-up. One of my mentors… >>>

Requiring students to read others posts and to post back or make a new post involes the student in a conversation that might not normally happen in a classroom setting. I think it challenges them to use critical thinking and to go deeper into the topic.

this is interactive, you can ask questions and the students answer and you can see if they are correct or not.

I am a big fan of simulated learning within the classroom. I think that if we replace the books with ipad (type) equipment- we can save money and resources that are currently used. I also beleive that the e-learning sites can enpower the instructor to explore areas that we currently cannot. Non english speakers should be able to attain the information and ideas faster and more compleately than the current way. IE what is more important to you? A medical technician that can perform a life saving task well but cannot spell the words correctly. Or a medical technician that… >>>

I will try some of the sites listed and work to create a more interactive approach in my classes.  I have many new sites to visit and explore before trying them in my classes.  I want to make sure that the sites work.

I would like to collect cell phones in the classroom so as to minimize distractions.  Is this a good idea?

hard test

I learned much about fair usage and copy rights from this course.

I find that power point presentations followed by one short 3-6 minute you tube video the day after demonstrating a cooking technique, helps to refresh and reinforce the previous days demo.

Tablets have to be used as educational tools not admissions tools.  Always be sure that there is an educational value.

I hope this course helps others learn what is involved to successfully Integrate Technology into their progams.

I am sure I can find away to make use of more multimedia factions for my students,, I am going to have to get permission to do so.   copyrights are not the only kinds of restrictions. and fratiniozing laws also are inforce.. wish me luck

As we teach, I try to keep in mine that students learn differently,  so I mix up the information the need to obtain from books, videos, demos, guest speakers.  Remember keep it interesting to keep student attention active.

Millenials are frequently more tech-savvy than their instructors and need a stimulating environment in which to learn.  The course provided some great ideas on using technology to engage these computer-age students as well as platforms to bring in older student to elevate their learning experience.  I plan to utilize the currently LMS more effectively by using the newer features, embedding interactive materials and creating an asynchronous discussion board for tutoring.  I also plan to explore Second Life for simulation and other virtual platforms to enhance student learning.
