I hope to become fluent in many different forms of technology to enhance my teaching, and my everyday life. In order to keep up with the ever changing world, I will need to learn to accept these new forms of technology.
I'm only 28 years old, but I feel a lot older when looking at all the new technology. Tweeting, blogging, uploading video, Facebook, and everything an iPhone can do amazes me. I've dabbled in Facebook and blogging, but I feel like I have an obligation to never Tweet to a single person so long as I live.
This course has caught me a little off guard. I feel overwhelmed and disorganized. I feel like there are assignments on three different pages with ambiguous requirements. I hope I don't miss anything.

The best option for the course is to read the TO DO page for the week as it lists everything that needs to be done. I'd do all the readings before doing the activities as many of them build on the readings.
ReplyDeleteI think there are lots of social technologies out there that are useful for communicating with others, but not necessarily for every classroom. Sometimes when we have a hammer, everything we see is a nail.
Norm, I agree with you that I feel a little lost in completing each week's assignments the best I can! I can basically tell what concepts we are supposed to cover, but as far as EXACT directions for specific blogging areas and how much we should be blogging seems to be left up to us. I have emailed our professor to get more specific feedback on a timely basis in regards to weekly assignments.
ReplyDeleteOne of the things I've done with this course is offer a number of posts and some general directions (see each week's to do list), but the blog is your opportunity for reflection. This is your chance to explore these technologies in directions that are most relevant to your professional life.
