For some reason, I missed this padlet during the week 1 module! For me, tech represents so much possibility for innovation, imagination, and connection. There's also the challenges of tech, which can make it isolating, confusing, and a barrier if you don't have access or instruction. I've found that in order to use and teach tech effectively, there needs to be space for experimentation, coaching, and sharing with other practitioners. Another reason why it's important to have a Personal Learning Network!

Technology is absolutely essential to my teaching.  I use online OER resources, recorded lectures, cloud storage so that our students have access to all of their coursework from any computer just to name a few. It does not come without its downsides however. While technology certainly makes our jobs easier, it can create barriers for students who are not experienced technology. Navigating that technology barrier is a key function of our jobs as instructors.

Technology gives me immediate access to the newest and cutting edge concepts/processes/equipment. The smartest people in the world can share their knowledge, the million dollar research and development findings care be posted, the funny welding fails for our amusement, and it is all at the tips of my fingers.

Technology provides my teaching a new dimension. It helped me to collect information from different sources and validate them before presenting those information to students. Technology helps in lecturing, creating presentations, evaluating students work, and introducing different ways of assessments.

I use Technology to assist me in reaching every student. It helps me to get the information out in various ways and for all the different adult learning styles that I work with.

Technology allows me to be a better teacher. It has opened an almost endless stream of resources that allow me to provide expertise in almost any subject directly to me students. I love how it allows me to focus on my own strengths in the classroom, and allows me the freedom to not have to be an expert in every topic.

Technology allows me to present information in different ways so that hopefully all my students will understand and be engaged.

Technology give me opportunity to be creative in my teaching methods and style. It also allows for the sharing and learning of real world technology that students would/could be using in their fieldwork. I enjoy the challenge of learning new things and technology is always changing so it is a never ending learning adventure.

Technology allows me to challenge myself and learn in new ways.
Create, think, learn, connect.

I use technology to run simulations with students, review quiz statistics in Canvas as a class, and to access expert content on subjects that are very specific and sometimes obscure. With all of the technology that is available, I often feel that I am learning with my students, as we progress through our process technology related subjects together. Although I have many years' experience in my field, I appreciate having access to many different perspectives that others share using technology.
