Reflection

1) Did this course meet your expectations?

The course, Educational Technology, has met my expectation in every way possible. As a class, we have learned how integration takes place within technology and education. It was awesome how we have obtained new skills and knowledge to incorporate technology within education. It was an inspiration having the time to gain new insights as to making the learning enjoyable, meaningful, and fun. This is what I call making the learning memorable in every way possible for students to retain the information.

2) Why do you think this course should be required for all ED majors?

This course should be required for all ED majors so that they could gain insightful knowledge and skills in connecting technology within their classroom. With the use of webquest, teachers can create fun activities for their students to gain knowledge of modern technology. Or they could have different guest speaker for all over the world to present knowledge about their culture, country, and etc… As we all know not all students are fortunate to access technology at home, so as future teachers we are there to make it possible for every student to explore the global world that is advancing in technology. Educational Technology gives new information of the growing world around us, resources to access worksheets to create and use within the classroom, and a lot more. It is a great course that should be continued for all future teachers.

3) How will you implement technology into your future classroom?

I will implement technology into my future classroom in every way possible. We could create activities all most like a scavenger hunt online for students with the use of webquest. Teachers/students can use blog as a portfolio of major projects or assignments that they have completed and accomplish. Teachers can produce a movie out of one the activities where students had to do a play, skit, dance show, puppet show, and etc… and have them watch themselves as how they work cooperatively as a group/tribe. They could also use technology to create their own personal timeline of their life. We could create worksheets/assignments for students.
