So far in this unit I have learnt so much about technology I never even knew was available! I am not the most technology savvy person in the world but I have some idea. There is just a world full of resources out there and it is not until you start looking you find that there is almost anything that technology can help you with . I now know how to properly screen-cast, and know how to use Endnote (still a little grey on it but by the end of the week I should be an expert).
Along my journey I have worked out ways to aid in my own learning, like asking peers for advice, using Google, and You Tube (is great for instructions on programs) just to name a few. I gain so much important information out of the lectures about how kids understand and apply their knowledge with technology and the benefits behind this. We looked at a clip in the lecture on Thursday about how a teacher has used technology to help kids make short little films on myths. It was amazing the creativity behind some of the students work and you could see how they become experts in creating little short films. This was a great way to engage kids in learning about different uses of technology but still using their creative minds to explore.
