I love technology in the classroom, but I need to remind myself to Keep It Simple, Sister (KISS) and make sure that I fully understand how the tool works before incorporating it into the classroom. There's definitely an opportunity for experimentation, and learning from each other in the class with new tools, but introducing these tools can also create confusion and anxiety for some students.]]> 2018-01-19 18:43:52 UTC https://padlet.com/message/tech/wish/222905207 hbutcher10 https://padlet.com/message/tech/wish/222907159 Accessibility is a top-of-mind issue for probably all of us when using technology. I don't know how to be sure that the tools I experiment with are accessible, except to ask our DSS office to to a QA on the tool ... This is not a good use of their time, and so I am not sure whether to get involved in tools that are not already assessed and approved.]]> 2018-01-19 18:49:07 UTC https://padlet.com/message/tech/wish/222907159 https://padlet.com/message/tech/wish/223049645 Flexibility and speed is what I like most about technology.  The internet is an awesome space where there is a great collection most all the relevant knowledge that can be accessed at unbelievable speed. The flexibility comes through when you get to pick and choose how the consumer wishes access their topic of choice.

I am always trying new tools and ideas and getting feedback from my students right away to see if it was on track. Interactive ways to review are also helpful. ]]> 2018-01-21 20:10:28 UTC https://padlet.com/message/tech/wish/223145152 https://padlet.com/message/tech/wish/223167536 In the classroom, I like the freedom and time it gives myself and students to research, reflect, and develop assignments. Its difficult for some to respond quickly and creatively. Sometimes it take time to develop and expand on assignments to produce the quality of work desired. Technology provides an avenue of efficiency. This board, for example, is a way for us to all share together all in one location]]> 2018-01-22 00:16:37 UTC https://padlet.com/message/tech/wish/223167536 https://padlet.com/message/tech/wish/223178780 Technology allows me to have so much useful information at my fingertips. I have to be discerning about what I use and what I share with students. I love that if I am not knowledgable about a certain topic that there are typically a plethora of resources on the world wide web. ]]> 2018-01-22 02:01:10 UTC https://padlet.com/message/tech/wish/223178780 farshidmirzaei https://padlet.com/message/tech/wish/223198204 I like being able to login to my pages or any open sites to use the materials. This gives me a lot of freedom and flexibility in managing my classroom materials. Also no need to carry my stuff all the time. I can store   everything on line with copies to restore.
Having access to different tools in delivering lessons and educational materials give me more time to focus on the outcomes.]]> 2018-01-22 05:13:48 UTC https://padlet.com/message/tech/wish/223198204 https://padlet.com/message/tech/wish/223526629 I like this technology, I have used it in class and it's great. Student can contribute their thoughts and everyone else in the class can read it.

Last quarter, my first quarter, I noticed how little time I had to do any of my other job duties. I set out this quarter to automate many of my teaching tasks using Canvas and I opened up at least 50% more of my day to do things like go observe other instructors, work on better curriculum and course development.]]> 2018-01-23 02:31:39 UTC https://padlet.com/message/tech/wish/223618058 https://padlet.com/message/tech/wish/223626481 Communication Tech Tools This gives us more options to interact with the student and for each student to share and brainstorm ideas and things they are learning. We use to kind of laugh at some of the technology used in start track and now we see some of that being used and even ideas that weren't thought of at the time. Skype, Zoom, Logme In so many tools for video and chatting or texting. ]]> 2018-01-23 03:36:33 UTC https://padlet.com/message/tech/wish/223626481 https://padlet.com/message/tech/wish/224044287 I like the ease of access. All sorts of resources can be uploaded onto canvas and then accessed by students whenever they need it. It can be hard flipping through a textbook or running a google search to find help on a very specific homework question. But focused and well organized online resources can alleviate some of this task]]> 2018-01-23 23:06:14 UTC https://padlet.com/message/tech/wish/224044287 https://padlet.com/message/tech/wish/224090854 Technology today is integrated into just about every part of the automotive world. Teaching Automotive IS teaching with technology. With the advancement of all the electrical and electronics in vehicles today it would be difficult to get around. For this very reason, electrical and basic electronics is the very first class I give due to the fact that it is part of every lesson after it. 
Using technology to teach is ever expanding and I enjoy finding new ways to approach teaching through the use of new technologies.

When I task them to research a topic and allow them freedome to find a video, article, or web page they find interesting, I see some amazing things. So amazing sometimes that I end up thinking to myself, "Hey, that's really clever. I may have to use that next year as part of my course curriculum." Students bring out so much information in terms of discovery and exploration that as an Instructor you would never think apparent. When a subject matter is new to them, giving them liberty through technology opens up the coursework to different visions and points-of-view from students you would have never expected. The fun part and challenge for you as the Instructor is to tailor it all together and take the gift of what is been given to you and weave it in a way to deliver on the lesson you intended. The exciting part is, sometimes you end up going in a completely different direction that you never expected.]]> 2018-01-24 20:16:59 UTC https://padlet.com/message/tech/wish/224430375 https://padlet.com/message/tech/wish/225917192 What I love about technology is its ability to make class FUN and unscripted. For example, being able to spontaneously pull up clips, songs or Google images art for my students when the planned lecture takes turns toward new discussions. I also like the capacity of online learning systems to simplify learning by putting communication/discussions/assignments/file uploads and other things in a single place. (But I do think a word wall like this could be a much more engaging, easier-on-the-eyes alternative to the Canvas discussion boards we have for my classes).

Technology has become a common and effective way to communicate .
