Reflective Blog #1


Reflective Blog #1


One of your assignments in week 1 was to develop a rough draft of your educational technology philosophy. Copy and paste a copy of that draft as part of your first blog posting. In addition, discuss how this exercise can/will possibly assist you in identifying future technology projects for this class and in other areas. In other words, how is having your philosophy down in writing helpful to you?

At this point, what potential uses do you see for blogging? Stephen Downes' article on Educational Blogging (posted in the technology project assignment area in week 1) was written in 2004. Have we met this potential? What's preventing us from doing so?

November's article, Creating a Culture for Teaching and Learning (posted in the list of week 1 activities) outlines six areas to think about and changes on the horizon with technology and education. Which one stood out to you the most and why?

Try to embed a copy of the concept map you created to explain your understanding/definition of the field of educational technology into your blog.



And finally, what are some of your expectations for this class?
