I took the introductory course for Educational Technology last. It was just the way my degree plan worked out that I took the courses in that order. In many ways, it was perfect taking the first class last. The introduction touched on a variety of technologies that re-introduced me to ideas I was not able to expand upon in some of the other courses. I am grateful to be able to use the portfolio, wiki, blog and Podcasts. I believe I am an expert. Now I want to Podcast about every subject in a classroom.
I think that allowing students to download study plans and lessons to their MP3 players gives a novel way of giving students more exposure to course material. The only way to find out is to put it into action. I have read many research studies about using cell phones or other handheld devices for teaching. All were very positive. I look forward to using these technologies in my classroom.
Thank you Dr.'s Espinoza, Wickersham and Davis, you have truly given me an education.
