Responses to Week 6 Questions.
1. At the beginning of the semester, I had no familiarity with instructional technology. My comfort level with technology was also low. I would say that I had a steep learning curve over the course of the semester, as the course helped me achieve a level of comfort with several important technologies: the smart board, the wiki and i-movie. In particular, the wiki was the most user friendly tool and the most useful in terms of what I would use in my teaching practice. I see the wiki as a place to gather useful resources and information and present it in a format with which students can interact.
2. Because all of this technology was completely new to me, my learning with them was necessarily experimental. I feel that some of my products are works in progress and will continue to improve. The instructor did a good job of showing models of the different kinds of things we created so that the standard of work was high.
3. I definitely feel that I am comfortable moving forward in using the Smart Board, the wiki, and i-movie. In fact, this was one of the greatest benefits of the class for me: improving my comfort level with these technologies.
