Other resources

I have found some other great resources along my journey that have really helped me develop my technology skills. This includes how to create a video on You tube, Scootle and the interactive online tools for teaching, Screen-O-Matic, and Endnote. I really liked the Scootle (2011) tool as it followed the Australian Standardised Curriculum and was easy to navigate. The previous assignment on social learner has given me knowledge of other resourceful tools that have enabled me to easily progress through this assignment such as; Skitch, how to download a PDF, identifying appropriate resources on the Murdoch website and using the  Murdoch library on campus for resources.

Our lectures provide a lot of information on learning concepts using technology. A great example of using technology as a teacher in the classroom was the example of a 'research action plan' that students could investigate around environmental issues in a particular water conservation area. The class has come up with a great way to display this information on a webpage. I thought this was a great idea to implement technology in a fun, interactive manner that would be engaging to students and can be easily accessed through the internet  for parents and caregivers.
