Lesson 2 Reflection

  • Team work of which I am proud.
    • We have a good plan of action for the following weeks.
    • Preparing for our turn monitoring the lesson.
    • We have done a good job of getting our lesson 3 group assignment going. We broke down the assignment to make it easier for all of us.
  • Team work which I found exceptionally challenging.
    • Making sure we all were on the same page about assignments.
    • I have to second the above statement.
    • Being on the same page about assignments is difficult because we all have busy lives. It is hard to organize a team writing assignment when we are all miles apart too :)
  • Reflections on technology and instructional strategies that you and your team learned from this lesson.
    • Marta started us on the new to me website http://www.etherpad.com/. I am excited to see how it works out as a communication tool.
    • It appears that I need to enter the mobile device world with a smart phone. I also found out about a ton of Web 2.0 apps
    • There are many technology tools to choose from when it comes to social networking and collaborative work. As learners, we need to find the Web 2.0 tool that fits our learning styles.

  • Anything your team would like to share.
    • One more lesson down and looking forward to the following weeks.
    • Chipping away and learning a ton.
    • We are doing an awesome job sharing new information with each other.

  1. Thanks for sharing your team and learning progress! I am glad to know your team was exploring different emerging technologies. It is great to keep our mind open to evaluate and to examine different NLE technologies. Don't forget to keep tagging to share with your teammates and our classmates.

    Yes, mobile learning is getting more important. We may or may not like it; however, as educational technology experts, we need to explore and examine different tools and opportunities to improve learning.

    Lesson 2 team blog feedback & grade posted. Check Vista grade book & team blog for details.
    Make sure start planning our:
    Assignment 7: Educational Institution Network Policy & Procedures
    Assignment 9: Network Learning Training

    They can be very time consuming. In lesson 2 we covered Emerging network technologies which focus on the characteristics of Connectivism. It is not just any technology. It should be networked and participatory within social interaction and learning aspect. I hope your group has identified one emerging technology for you Networking Learning Training.

    Continue your good work!

  2. HI - as a very recent addition to this group - I'd like to say thank you for welcoming me. As for team work which I am proud of - the quick response from my group members and pulling together last minute involvement so that I may be a part of this the group assignment - which also covers the whole challenging element for this lesson:)What I've learned with this lesson is that the focus of technology plans really need revising - in my opinion. Education struggles so much to meet current technology demands within the very limited budget confines of current legislation. The bottom line is education needs to solicit the public in an effort to rally legislative support!
