Chapter 1 Journal


Credits for video goes to EDTP504 from YouTube

New technologies create many opportunities for teaching and learning. These opportunities come in many different format. Not only is the world changing everyday, but technology keeps advancing more and more each day. Therefore, technology lets you change teaching and learning that enhances the way the student learns.

Tech Tool 1.1 is very convenient for me now. Therefore, I could see how convenient it could be for my teaching career. Having an Ultraportable Laptop Computers is great because it's almost like carrying a paper planner but in a much more organized format. You can take it anywhere. The fact that you can work on something at home and save it to share in the classroom is great. In comparison to be able to use saved work from something you worked on at home, you could also use it to reuse material from the previous work which will help save time as well as give you extra time to modify the lesson to make it work better the following year.

Chapter 1 was a great introductory to the book because it shows how technology creates opportunities for teaching in learning. Also, it helps you understand the barriers that come between technology and teaching. It also gives you new ideas of how to overcome these obstacle when trying to integrate technology into the world of learning and teaching. After reading this chapter, I've noticed that many of my professors now have succeeded on integrating technology into the classroom while others have failed. Either way, I think this chapter has given me \great ideas on being successful when integrating technology into my classroom.

  1. You got started blogging - yay! :) I see that you added a YouTube video link here, but it was embedded on another post. You will want to move that into this post to make it complete.

    Then for Chap 2, you will start a new POST (don't create an entirely new blog!!) and keep adding to this blog with a new post for each chapter...hope that makes sense - if not let me know!
