Reflection
Being introduced to the course Education Technology, I have grown technologically and educationally. I was exposed to ISTE National Education Technology Standards (NETS). Here, I have learned that all classroom teachers should be prepared to meet specific standards. According to these standards, teachers should demonstrate a sound understanding of technology operations and concepts. The ISTENET standard for teacher helps me to understand that teachers should plan and design learning environment supported by the use of technology. Furthermore, education technology helped me to be better able to implement curriculum plans that include methods and strategies for applying technology to maximize student learning.
Additionally, I have learned how to apply technology in assessing student learning of subject matter with the aid of a variety of techniques such as the jeopardy and wheel of fortune. These implementations helped to enhance my productivity and my professional practices. I have learnt that implementation of technology in the classroom helps students to demonstrate creative thinking, construct knowledge, and develop original products and processes with the use of technology. Moreover, being exposed to education technology, I understand that when technology is being implemented in the classroom, students will gravitate to use digital media to communicate and work collaboratively. Furthermore, students will be intrinsically motivated to use technology to communicate outside of class, thus this will help to enhance students learning and also increase interaction during teaching and learning.
Education technology transformed me cognitively and technologically. This course helped me to appreciate the fact that technology implementation in the classroom help students to use critical thinking skills, to plan and conduct research, manage project, solve problems and make informed decisions using appropriate digital tools and resources. Most importantly, I understood that technology implementation in the classroom will help students to demonstrate a sound understanding of technology concepts, systems and operations.
