I would most definitely recommend this course to other students. You learn a large amount of information and in a completely different way than you would imagine. This course is full of interaction and fun activities. It is not like any other and you will love the way the professor goes about teaching it.

This course has allowed me to meet several other people and learn from them as well. In most other courses at UCI I never even had the possibility of meeting about classmate. I would simply walk in to lecture, sit, try to focus and listen, and then walk out hoping to have grasped the information for my exams. This course was completing different: it was interacting, engaging, and the for of the lectures allowed for a successful outcome. I can say that I had fun learning the material and its significance.

This course enlightened me in a distinct way compared to any other course I took at UCI. I used technology a lot more and the biggest thing for me was that the course and professor allowed for collaborative work. I did not expect so much group work. It came to me as unique and being honest, in the beginning I was not so happy about it. Also, I was not opened to so many conversations and active learning due to the fact that I am not used to that. However, I can sincerely say that this course has been one of my favorites and my opinion changed about collaborative work. I learned, observed, and realized that group work is essential for student's education and success. We learn so much from one another; sometimes you even learn more from your peers than from simply listening to a teacher teach monotonous all day long. I do not like presenting in front of the class at all, and though my feelings may still not change I do know that it is important and it is helpful for the students and class as a whole. This class indeed met my expectations and went over. I did not expect to learn so much about technology and its inclusion among the students. I also had the possibility of reading several articles with both positive and negative views about technology and educational settings.

I believe students should be exposed to technology at school in order to help them perform well and exceed in their educational setting. There is so much that technology can offer of which encourages educational learning and helps students think and become enlightened. I also think that it has to be managed and used wisely in order to go about proficiently. That said, though the implementation of technology in the educational setting is critical, teachers are crucial as well and without them it would not work out. Students would not be as successful.

Zoe Bernard's article was captivating and I enjoyed reading about how technology can shape education positively and how it can allow students to acquire several types of learning style. According to psychological claims and my knowledge about learning styles, I do not believe that there is such a thing as stating you are a visual learner or I am right brained, yet I do agree with the fact that every student is different a they learn distinctly at different points in time. For that reason, this is when technology comes in and plays a critical role because you can explore so much and it offers a lot to students. One of my favorite points of this article is the fact that they state the importance of teachers regardless of how important and grand technology is. Both articles got me thinking and were interesting.

Marc Prensky's article about Digital Natives and Digital Immigrants was an interesting comparison about people that were born into an era that evolves around technology and those that were not born into it, yet found it amusing and in a sense, a necessity, therefore adapted and use technology.

There are actually several reasons as to why I took this course. First, I had heard several positive comments about both the class and the professor. I was interested in taking this course; so interested that I preferred it over an upper division psychology class. What came to my attention was the technology aspect. I felt intrigued to learn more about how education and students can be impacted with the proper use of technology. Also, I hoped to learn about the not so positive aspects of technology and why some people look down on it.
