There are a lot of unique methods of engagement that I never thought of using before. I will be looking more into what I can implement into my current lectures to have better student engagement.
I am interested in attending an ISTE conference now.
Lots of acronyms, will check more info but lots of tech to be utilized in the classroom
I am grateful for the copyright information on what constitutes fair use. I will re-access these resources.
Purpose Games site is really good. This was a good module just to write down all the links.
I learned about the various avenues for communicating with students using technology, from social media to mainstream digital platforms
My biggest take away from this section is the importance of lifelong learning, and as an instructor the importance of incorporating a variety learning technologies into the classroom.
Much of this does not apply to my situation working in a prison school where internet access is not allowed but it was interesting. One thing I can say for sure, is that we need to be careful when using YouTube because of those pop-up ads. I've had to scramble to shut it down because there was an inappropriate ad playing.
As professionals we can join organizations in order to network, learn new technologies and different resources available.
In this module, I learned about some new quiz and game generators such as Quiz Star and Wondershare. Also, learned the information on fair use and copy right laws.
In this module, I learned about some new quiz and game generators such as Quiz Star and Wondershare. I also learned about an online educator community called Teachertube.com. I learned about fair use information and laws, which are important to know and understand when seeking content. I intend to use and try the applications and possibly seek e-book alternatives.
Gaining a better understanding of Fair Use and how it applies to education is very helpful! This way, I can ensure I am falling in line with the set standards.
Discovered some interesting ways to use technology in the classroom. Will incorporate a few of the ideas in my teaching. Long module if you check all of the links but very useful for the current type of learners in college.
I learned about TeacherTube, a great resource for instructors to share teaching videos such as lectures and demonstrations to provide a visual learning experience. This resource offers many different resources for free. I will be using this resource moving forward.
What a wealth of new strategies to use! It was also helpful to learn more about the copyright laws.
I have learned about different ways to incorporate technology in my classroom and how to develop my own skills and learning to create better environment for my students to learn.
I have learned many new concepts and strategies so far. Learning about the various platforms to engage students such as Vimeo and blogs have given me new ideas about instruction modalities
Ways to integrate Virtual Reality into the classroom. I am excitred to dive into "Second Life"! This is interactive online learning. They have virtual Mayo Clinic! Educational videos I have used are PBS! Integrate You tube into your class.
