To continue being "student centered" we need to take into consideration our students learning preferences as it may affect which LMS will be better to keep all students focused & learning.
During this teaching I have learned about the importance of using online technology tools to enhance teaching.
I have learned that all teaching tools are not created equal. It is important to use the appropriate tool for the content/project etc. By evaluating and reviewing the various types of tools, one can find what suits their teaching style.
In today's teaching with hardback books being removed from the classroom and replaced with E books it's important that Teachers find new ways to connect with a generations who only knows "technology" type learning. Personally, I struggle with a generation who rather scroll through their cell phones then engage in their own learning process.
Through technological tools I understood that it is very important to know and combine these strategies because it helps us ensure that you are selecting the most appropriate tool.
Assessing the technology you have available and planning how it can tie into the lesson plan will aid the instructor throughout the course.
In this module I learned the difference in the technology tools to help better teach with the appropriate teaching style.
In this module, I have learned that it is important to select the appropriate online tools. Investigating them and ensuring that it serves the purpose of the lessons and the learner.
I thought the different styles of instructor was interesting, and plan to mix it up more, myself.
Comment on Courtland Grimm's post: I agree with you. Knowing your audience is an essential tool to successful online teaching.
It's not enough to incorporate tech into the classroom. We have to be selective and purposeful in our choices.
Wikis are another way to engage students. Though I employ different means of instruction and ways to help students, I can see the value of using a shared and evolving resource with students via wikis.
En este modulo aprendi:
excelente curso.
This module included several pieces of tech that I haven't heard of or explored before. I'm excited to do so, to enhance my online teaching!
