Reflection 3

I continue to learn more and more each week. The newest item I have learned how to do is a Yodio. It took a little navigating to figure out, but eventually did. I am also learning about podcasts at this time as I prepare to make one for my own online course. The most important thing for me to remember is how the information affects the students that will be taking this course. I need to deliver the information in a way that reaches all learners.

This week we are focusing on a discussion and lecturette. I decided to keep the discussion simple as my course targets second graders. I find simplicity at this age level is most effective. With my lecturette I am going to make a podcast. This gives students the opportunity to hear my voice instead of always reading what is expected.

I know from this course putting a voice with someone makes it much more personal. I want to be able to pass that same idea on to my students. I continue to have a positive attitude as the course is coming to an end and have learned some new things. I know I must maintain patience especially when working with technology because it can be your best friend at times or not. This will always be the way it is with technology whether it is tomorrow or ten years from now.
