This is a general discussion forum for the following learning topic:
Integrating Technology into Education --> Understanding the Components of Instructional Technologies
Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
Since I have very limited technological resources in my situation, we have to sometimes improvise. For instance, using a human translator to assist a non-English speaking student or having another student read questions/answer on a test aloud to assist someone who has reading difficulties.
In this module, I learned about video and recording software types, such as Camtasia, Loom, and Synthesia. I also learned about simulation software, such as NurseSim, Circuit Lab, and Cisco Packet Tracer. Lastly, I learned about accessibility tools for presentations and intend to start using them for all of my presentations.
A Learning Management System (LMS) could help me easily organize and share theory and hands-on content. For example, with a cloud-based LMS, my students could access cooking tutorials, recipes, and course materials anytime, anywhere, making learning more flexible. Features like assignment submission portals would let them upload things like recipes or meal plans online, and the grading tools would help me give quick, helpful feedback.
I bookmarked the video about making my ppts more accessible. I hadn't considered those things before, and I'm so grateful to have this resource!
Technology is very supportive of all learning types including people with disabilities. It provides a wide range of opportunities to learn in a way that benefits everyone. I would use all technology that will help me or anyone else learn a skill.
All students need to be taken into consideration when implementing technology or new learning materials in general.
Techniques that insure that people with disabilities have the same experience and advantages as people without.
I use moodle at the school I work at as a lms. I also use Camtasia to make instruction videos for my mechanical Drawing class that the students can review on moodle anytime.
Working with ICT and digital resources is now a necessary skill for teachers, since it allows them to understand, select and adapt the tools so that their students achieve the competencies planned in their courses.
Students can carry out collaborative work to build knowledge, and technology facilitates the development of students' skills.
Due to the fact that students use technology on a daily basis, technology is crucial for student learning and it’s imperative that the instructors maximize this opportunity.
Online learning allows everyone including those with disability's to explore the world inhancing the educational experience.
Online education helps people with disabilities to have access to learning tools anytime.
Learning disabliities need to be high on my list when designing the content for a class. Section508.gov sounds like a great site to look at soon.
Accesability to required technology to complete courses/lessons.
Remark:
Special attention for easy use of technology for disabled students and its availability for international students.
Our instituion has many different software programs that we are free to use within our classroom setting. They offer internal education and if not the vendor has given us access to learn how to incorporate it into the classroom. It is helpful and allows diversity in the classroom so students stay alert and involved.
