Assessment in E-Learning: Blog
There were several key areas to this week's module. The first aspect that I really enjoyed was creating a concept map. I have never done this before, so the concept was new to me. I also had never worked with concept map technology before this week. I find that I am continuing to increase my confidence when it comes to new technologies. After just a few false starts, I was up and running with the new technology. Once I had a handle on the technology, it was time to start creating my concept map. I am a visual learner, so this was perfect for me! Although this map was created for me, I could see how this would be a very helpful tool for students! Allowing them to see how things are connected in this manner would help guide them in the learning process. This is something I'm going to invest more time and energy into.
The next big thing for the week dealt with our group discussion. I am new to the world of technology, so this week allowed me to read about many different types of technologies that are available. It was great! So many tools and ideas that I wasn't even aware of. Before this weeks reading, I didn't know all that was out there. Now that I am aware, I need to start finding technologies that will improve my classroom. The final thing from the week relates to our group project. I initially wanted to select an area to work on that I was familiar with. I decided in the end to pick a new technology. This forces me to get out of my comfort zone and learn about another new technology. I am not the biggest fan of group projects, but I am hopeful that this experience will change my attitude on that subject. I'm nervous and excited to plan an activity using a tool I have never worked with before. The more I work with new technologies, the more I will become comfortable.
