Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
I have learned that technology tools can have a positive impact in online learning. Additionally, as the instructor, I must be willing to be intentional with technological usage to drive student growth.
Hi everyone. I learned that technology can have multiple uses. For example, discussion apps can be used as a type of blog.
I learned about investigating potential software and platforms for online class lectures and presentations.
In this session, I learned about all of the new technology being used as teaching tools.
I have learned so far to develop my own personal teaching style and facilitation of teaching and learning process.
I have learned how to use the tools for online learning more effectively rather than just using the tools because they are there.
I learned to be conscious of doing too much demonstrating in class and not allowing students to be as involved in the hands-on work. It is important to allow them to get involved so they can learn by trial and error, but it is also important to remember some people learn better by watching. You have to find a balance.
Ensure the technology matches the outcomes you want the student to achieve. Many many forms of technology to use to enhance learning.
Technology can be very beneficial to the learning experience but it can also hinder just as much as it can help if it's not used in the proper or most effective ways.
There are many options available when selecting the technology to use in our classes; it is important to understand the course's objectives and the institution's guidelines in order to choose the best tool. This goes hand in hand with facilitating instruction and ensuring that students interact with, understand, and correctly replicate the information being presented. In my work, I intend to examine the application (LMS) in depth to get the most out of it.
The critical aspect of technology and its usage.
Understanding the different types of educational technology available and how they function will help to verify the credibility of new technology and course material.
There are different platforms that can be used. It's best to know what the need is and expected outcome when selecting which style to use.
Technology is beneficial tool for teaching.
I learned that technology tools are valuable in education—provided that the instructor uses them intentionally with a clear purpose and proper understanding. Rather than using technology for its own sake, selecting the right tools allows us to effectively support the teaching process and facilitate deeper learning.
So far, I learned that technology tools can be very valuable, as long as the user is aware of how to properly use the technology and its purpose is clear.
Technology tools assist the instructor in the teaching process and facilitates the learning process. It is a great way improve communication, organization, and student engagement.
In this module I learned that technology tools can be useful to the classroom setting, we just have to know when to use certain tools and how to use certain tools.
In this module I learned about different types of technology tools and how each can be applied to different styles of teaching to better support the students and the faculty teaching.
