Cloudy With A Chance of Ed Tech

 I will use this blog space to explore cloud-based educational technology resources. I plan to use this tool to reflect my thoughts on ongoing and emergent educational technologies.  The beauty of the cloud is the anywhere-anytime element of these services. They usually require little more than a web browser and often have a free component to them.  I'd like to review timely and impactful topics related to cloud-based ed tech. This blog journey will be a reflection of this.

    The idea of your blog is very creative. According to Richardson (2015), blogs are good publishing and reflection tools. As you implement this blog, you will inform your students and other teachers about the best emerging cloud-based educational technology and how it may be used, which will assist them in exploring and using it to accommodate their needs (Ltd, 2024). However, you will have to realize that since utilizing cloud-based educational technology, you will be required to have internet access all the time, and sometimes, at school, this does not happen since the school’s internet is usually not good due to too many users being online at once. You will also face the challenge of constantly updating your blog by adding new content ( Richarson, 2015). It will be beneficial to update this blog weekly or daily, depending on the urgency.

Final Reflection and Blog Posting on the Impact of Technology

In this reflection essay, I will reflect on how the resources and activities in this course have helped me continue developing my technology skills as a teacher. I’d like to discuss this in the following steps. First, I’d like to discuss the role social bookmarking, wikis, and blogs have played in the continuing development of my teaching technological skills. Second, I’d like to discuss how I have deepened my knowledge from this course and regarding integrating technology in the classroom. Third, of all the technologies discussed in this course, why am I most open to using podcasting in my practice, and where do I see any potential obstacles to its implementation? Fourth, I’d like to specify two long-term SMART goals to help me transform my classroom to better support students in their 21st-century skill development. Finally, what topic of interest do I wish to pursue for further research and understanding? I believe it will be the biggest change in the classroom since the emergence o...

Behaviorist Learning Theory, Instructional Strategies, and Technology Tools

Behaviorism, instructional strategies and technology are interconnected with one another while fostering effective learning environments. In this discussion, I will attempt to discuss the relationship between all three, how they work together and equally important, why they work together. I will also explain how I use behavior-based instructional strategies and educational technology tools in my classroom. Additionally, what are the ISTE standards for both educators and students addressed by the educational technology tools currently used in my classroom? Finally, I wanted to discuss my intended use of Genius Hour (GH) and how I can apply the sources I researched to enhance the GH approach by integrating behaviorist learning principles effectively. The behaviorist learning theory believes that behavior can be conditioned through either positive or negative reinforcement and punishment. The theory focuses on measurable changes in behaviour and disregards internal cognitive processes. ...

Constructivist Learning Theory, Teaching and Learning

In this blog post, I will be discussing the use of constructivism, constructivist-based instructional strategies and educational technology tools in my junior high school classroom. I will discuss this in the following steps. First, what is the relationship between constructivism, constructionist learning theories, my current instructional strategies, and the educational technology tools used in my classroom? Second, how are constructivist-based instructional strategy and educational technology tools used in my classroom and what International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) standards for educators and students are addressed by doing so? Finally, how will constructivist-based instructional strategy and the educational technology tools in my classroom be used with the Genius Hour plan I previously proposed in my classroom? By addressing these questions, I hope to cover this discussion in complete depth. Constructivist learning theories focus on the active role of students in ...
