Education and Technology: Key Issues and Debates

3 broader functions of education that need to be acknowledged:

1. Qualification - giving people the knowledge and skills to do something.

2. Socialization -  inserting learners into existing ways of being

3. Subjectification - encouraging learners to act autonomously and think independently

It was great reading everyone's profile and getting to know all of my classmates. I really learned a lot from this weeks discussion board including awesome new technologies to use both personally and professionally.

All of these statements that I always stated and believed are not actually based on any scientific fact:

1.  "We only use 10% of our brains."
FALSE!
We actually use all of our brain capacity

2. "You are either a left brainer or a right brainer"
FALSE!

3. "We learn through a specific channel (auditory, visual, kinesthetic)"
FALSE!
We actually learn through as many channels as we can.

It was beneficial to learn the 14 Essential Conditions Framework and place my plan on implementing a new technology at my organization within the elements of this framework. The framework helps break down the implementation process into bite sized pieces and ensures that all essential conditions of your plan are covered.

It was definitely fun to use a new technology to present my reflections. I have not yet used Padlet before this class and I am always looking for new ways to present information.

The technologies that I worked with for the discussion boards have been my favorite part of class so far.

I got to work with new technologies such as Padlet, Infographics and Google Sites and I am currently in the process of constructing ways to incorporate these technologies at work.

I am also excited to work through the ISTE Framework to implement a new way to use a technology at work.

The Five C's:

Content: Providing instructional materials that students can access anywhere, or in specific contexts (like instructor commentary for a museum trip).

Capture: Using mobile devices to capture images, video, sound, GPS coordinates, and ideas (as notes).

Communicate: Being able to stay in touch with classmates anywhere or during specific field activities.

Compute: Using devices to assist in calculating, language translating, and other computational tasks.

Combine: Using the previous four functions together in interesting ways, like augmented-reality experiences that capture GPS location, orientation, and images, and supply relevant content to the learner

It was interesting to keep tabs on the technology that I use on a daily basis and how I use it. There were some surprises in how I thought about technology, even taking back to using the coffee machine to brew my coffee in the morning. It was also interesting to read about my classmates use of technology on a daily basis.

The transfer of knowledge to a new problem requires:

Knowledge of the problems context

Ensure that students have sufficient background knowledge

Deep understanding of the problems structure

Make connections via examples

This course reintroduced me into the world of learning technologies. Removed from learning and just working these last few years, I feel like I have gotten into a rut - just using what was easy or at my fingertips in the workplace. This course has opened me up to new ideas of using technology and reminded me that I need to stay current in how rapidly technology is changing and improving the way that we learn.
