Impact of Technology

EQ #3 asked, "What technologies have the potential to have an impact on the way I teach and that my students learn?" From the time of writing the syllabus to the end of this class my own eyes have been opened and I've been focusing on the potentially transformative power of Web 2.0. How can you answer this EQ after 14 weeks of having a technology focus?

Technology in UbD

EQ #2 asked, "how can technology be utilized to design instruction to promote student understanding?" How has deeper knowledge of UbD helped you see new ways to incorporate technology into teaching and learning? How can you try to get past activity based technology activities?

New insights about research

EQ #1 asked, "What does research tell us about the use of technology in transforming the teaching/learning process?"
In thinking about your response, what did you know about this research before you started this class? Has the work you've done this semester given you new insights?
