Back Again!
Sep 14th, 2009 by Michele Brannon-Hamilton
Hello everyone! I’m back to blogging again after a short August break from classes. My new class is ETEC 511 which outlines the foundations of Educational Technology. Already I’ve discovered that the field I’m in is not as clear cut as I once thought because the field seems to change as new technology and new ideas develop.
Although I started off rather confused, I had an ‘aha’ moment while reading the definition primer. Now I think I understand that Educational Technology was once more about information being transmitted from the knowledgeable to the student. However, with the advent of new collaborative Web 2.0 technology, Educational Technology now includes new media. Today, knowledge is created by students and teachers, shared by all and communicated to others. I’m sure it’s more complex than this but this is all my brain can understand at the moment. I’m sure by the time I’m further along the course, my new ebrain will fully understand all!!
Good journey to all.
