As I reminisce on my experience going through the educational technology course, I am happy to offer the pinnacle of my learning in the form of a narrative video. This video is more than just a recap; it represents my extensive involvement with the course material, critical debates, and growing understanding that I’ve gained over time.
In the video, I discuss a variety of new trends and concerns in educational technology. From disputes over technology’s impact on equity to the sensitive subject of cell phones in classrooms, each segment emphasises a major theme I explored during the course. These conversations not only enlarged my perspective but also provided me with the analytical abilities required to understand and contribute to contemporary debates in EdTech.
The video’s essence comes from the integration of significant insights and my observations. Engaging in public conversation, creating blog articles, and participating in discussions were all part of my learning experience. The film captures these events, demonstrating how they influenced my perspectives and expanded my understanding of technology’s diverse role in education. I am excited to share it with you. Thank you for watching and participating in this reflective study of my educational technology journey.
A wonderful summary of learning! Your perspectives on technology are extensive. As we come to a close of this course, I have enjoyed debating with you.
Hi Olajide, nice work. you have made a well-defined summery of your learning. I appreciate what you mentioned, “act on the context”. Technology is evolving, therefore we need to tailor our action to use technology.
You are so right when it comes to policy surrounding Edtech. I started to notice that this year in a school that actually works toward having policy. There is so much needing to be done by educational leaders to help teachers and students navigate what we want to use in the classroom. This was a big takeaway for me and something I will be more thankful for. I hope that the work the tech team at my school is doing as well as other schools starts to get passed further West. Thank for sharing your key understandings! Reactive vs Proactive! Educators need to be open to making mistakes in tech and then correcting from there after research and consideration.
Your summary of learning for EC&I 830 is insightful and reflective, capturing the essence of your educational journey throughout the course. I particularly appreciate your critical analysis of the debates and how they shaped your understanding of technology in education. My main takeaway is your thoughtful consideration of both the benefits and ethical implications of technology integration in the classroom. Reflecting on your experiences, what specific strategies or tools do you plan to implement in your future teaching to balance the benefits of technology with maintaining student engagement and equity?
