Dynamic tools are requiring that we take risks for the sake of creativity (Moller, 2008). At this point, I am participating in a lot of risk taking activities with the many different technologies that I must learn to use without the benefit of training. I am not at the Dynamic level yet, but I am moving in that direction. I have definitely moved to the middle of the scale with my use of such things as wikis, blogs, and chats. Based on my intended involvement in distance education, I am moving toward the discovery of more and more technological apparatus.
By the time of graduation for me, I will have mastered enough of the dynamic technologies to be effective in an online classroom. The teaching experience and the ability to create and design dynamic learning situations will provide the students with chances to build their own knowledge. With what I have learned so far in this class, I can apply the multimedia principles to a student-centered learning environment that is dynamic, that enhances technology, and that allows the students to each construct his/her own knowledge.

I am glad that I am not the only one that is learning to use the technologies as we go along. I felt like I should have had more training with the media before I began this program. However I am glad I am having to learn it. I also feel like upon completion of this program I will be able to use the tools learned in design of my own class.
ReplyDeleteI think we are all singing the same song. I really could have used more training.
ReplyDeleteYour concept map is very well thought out. It includes dynamic components that create experiences that allows students to interact with content on their computer screens. Your static components use pictures for communicating spatially information and items, use text-only rather than audio-only and Use text for communicating information to be retained over longer periods of time. You also included components I didn't think about. Thanks.
