Reflection
My first educational technology course began on January 23, 2014 with Miss Golda-lee Sawyers. This is a very exciting course as it teaches me many things relating to technology when using computers. Many of the things that I was taught in this course by my lecturer is the first I am learning about it, this include the various sites such as Prezi.com, Zunal.com and even Weebly.com. Technology is useful to a person when he or she understands how to use it effectively. During this course I was engaged in practical and theoretical aspect of learning as we were taken to the computer lab to research the necessary information.
According to the ISTE Standards for teachers were were engaged in activities that facilitate students learning and creativity and by making presentations on Prezi.com and Pixton.com to teach a lesson in my area of my specialization. This was however completed as a group assignment as I was paired with another student within my class also I was able to design and develop learning experiences and assessments and model digital age work and learning. This was able to be accomplished as the lesson was taught students was given oral assessment in which they had to observed pictures on computer on a projected screen and answer to oral questions that were asked.
However, in the period of time in this course I had some challenges. The main area of challenge i was faced with was to complete the web pages that I had to design which now connect to this particular website. In spite of the challenges I was therefore able to overcome this challenge as I spend time to obtain the necessary information that will help me to complete the pages as well as seeking the necessary help from my lecturer.
