This module introduced me to a range of apps and websites that can help engage and support student learning. Exploring different strategies and technologies gave me new ideas for improving the learning experience—especially in an online environment.
I have learned that students should be able to learn various ways and technology can be instrumental in assisting them.
I am learning about various tools that are available to improve learning and engagement.
While I see how this could be helpful in a regular school setting, in a prison setting, they are not allowed access to the internet. The state is developing a network of things they can allowed to access through tablets, they are having difficulties with internet reliability and whitelisting issue (how to keep the residents from accessing unauthorized websites through whitelisted websites.
In this time in age, more millennial college students are using more technology, so in order to help keep them interested in the course lessons as instructors we should be using the latest media to teach.
I was able to bookmark and save several applications to help presentations more presentable and organized, which helps to encourage student for active engagement.
Presentations found on SlideShare are often used to conduct research and connect with others to collaborate on projects; users have the option of uploading content publicly or privately, so information can be shared with a small class or with students and educators from around the world.

In this module, I learned about presentation tools. I have used PowerPoint and now use Canva most frequently. Using presentations with various forms of media helps increase learning and understanding. I intend to use other tools mentioned, such as Prezi, Adobe Captivate, and Slideshare in my classes.
I intend to look more into PowerPoint alternatives, such as Prezi and Canva. The increased interactivity and dynamics will hopefully up student engagement simply by being more visually appealing and interesting.
This module has shown me various apps and websites that can be used to engage and educate my students. Learning about various strategies and various forms of technology out there helped me to think of ways to enhance the learning experience for my students, especially while learning online.
So many different programs to use for web-sharing and to create presentations, available now. This definitely gave me some guidance in what to there is out there.
Uploading digital files allows students to access the content anywhere, as long as they have an internet connection. This, in turn, allows files to be shared easily and stored in a safe place that cannot be lost like physical copies.
I had heard of some of these technologies, e.g., Prezi, but did not know how effective they can be. On the contrary, there are new technologies I have not heard about, e.g., Zoho Notebook.
One key insight I've gained is the importance of utilizing various digital tools that facilitate collaboration and information sharing. Platforms like Google Drive, Trello, and Notion allow teams to work together seamlessly, regardless of their physical location. This fosters a more dynamic and inclusive learning environment where diverse perspectives can thrive.
I also learned that organizing information systematically can enhance retention and understanding. Tools such as mind mapping software or digital notebooks can help break down complex topics into manageable parts, making it easier to grasp and remember.
I learned about the different apps and softwares that can assist in educating my students more effectively in using powerpoints but making them more engaging and stimulate more learning.
I learned that there are many ways to utilize techno;ogy for instructional and personal use
Wow! I am surpried to learn that Power point presentations are becoming Not the standard for presenting information! At ACC we use ATI as our platform for teaching/learning. New information is presented by Power Point, along with case studies, watching videos & the introduction of Chat GPT!
I loved the resources available in this section. I had not heard of Slideshare before or Google Read and RSS. I believe in working smarter, not harder, so having access to a wide range of already-created documents is efficient. It is also a great way to share our knowledge and experience. The ease of access and ability to build different digital libraries open many other avenues of learning for the students.
