Hello world!

Digital Age Teaching Professionals

It my hope to become highly skilled in course development and delivery using technology, integration of technology in the curriculum, cognition and technology-based instruction. After perusing the contents of this course, ETEC 565a, I realise that it will equip me with some of the necessary hands-on knowledge and skills to realise my goal since it seems that I will obtain high quality experience in the use of new instructional resources and digital media required for learning in this digital age.

Presently, I engage my students in activities that utilise tools such as blogs, wikis, and podcast on a regular basis. Students find these tools intriguing and like using them in their learning experiences. I believe this course will provide me with the opportunity to better able respond to the versatile individual differences in students by introducing more diverse media, tools, and methods in the teaching and learning experience. It will also help me as an educator to prepare for a technology-rich future and keep up with change by adopting effective strategies that infuse lessons with appropriate technologies.

I am really looking forward to learning about all the digital tools that will be introduced in the course, but more specifically Moodle so that I can use its features to extend my classroom time and provide opportunities for students to interact, contribute ideas and collaborate.

I appreciate the knowledge I gained from reading the NETS in module one. I believe all educators today should follow the standards put forth since they will help us to deliver course contents more effectively and grow professionally in this increasingly digital age. I particularly like the standard which speaks to the professional growth and leadership of educators since I personally believe that teachers should be engaged in continuous research and development in an attempt to continuously implement new technologies, media and methods in classrooms practices to enhance student learning in this digital age.
