New and Emerging Technology: Reflection

Parts of this last class were harder for me than any other class in this course of study, and looking at emerging technologies and the ways that I can influence technology decision-making and change in my school was quite a challenge. Exploring the concepts of emerging technology and some of the new and different tools that may find their way into the classroom was enjoyable.

The first thing that I will do is put together a framework for the spelling program that will allow for the implementation of the plan developed in weeks six and seven. I will also create at least the first lesson from the current spelling program on a Moodle account. Before school starts next year, I will share the framework and the lesson with my grade level counterparts. I think that I can get them on board to at least try it out and see how things go. There are too many teachers on my campus who are not very interested in using technology as a part of their regular classroom practice. If I attempt to introduce too much, or to too many, I will probably not be successful. Starting small seems to be the way to approach things in my position.

New and Emerging Technologies: Why Use Moodle?

Here goes... Still having trouble with the links, but I think I have the sharing part so that it looks right. I would add a narrative that expounded on the slides during a presentation to the staff. I would probably have them on a computer where they would be able to explore the system as well.

Second Try!

The active link thing is still giving me a headache.
