Hello world!
Welcome to TED and Me, a place where I’ll be discussing topics and issues related to education, technology an instructional design. (No relation to TED Talks.) I’ll also be using this blog as an e-portfolio (as required for the MET ETEC565 course that I’m currently enrolled). This should be a lot of fun, and I’m looking forward to interacting with everyone about the numurous topics related to this field, commercially, academically, and persaonlly.
There is a gigantic pool of technological resources out there just waiting to be used in education. While I know many people have diffeernt perspectives on educational technology (even its term is debated) and that technology is not the only answer to effective teaching, educators need to accept the idea that current technologies are changing how we teach and learn. The possibilities of creating efficient and effective learning environments, communities of learners, and easy access to knowledge is grand!
Let the journey begin…
