Moving Toward Dynamic Technologies
See link for my concept map: http://olufemi.wikispaces.com/
"As technology becomes integrated into the learning environment, the instructor or instructional designer must make decisions regarding which technology to use to achieve specific learning outcomes" (Moller, 2008). As an educator, I feel that all educators must use the best method to promote learning within their educational institution. Since we are in a technology era, integrating technology in the classrooms seems to be the best method to achieving specific learning outcomes. The most important part to integrating technology in the classroom is knowing which technology will have the greatest impact on learning. With that said, I believe that I am in the middle of the static-dynamic continuum. I began closer to the static end of the static-dynamic continuum at the beginning of this course and learned that I need to get out of my comfort zone. As a result, I began exploring some of the 2.0 technology programs and found that they are very challenging and promote learning. As I continue through this course and experience other courses in the future, I plan to continue to move completely towards the dynamic end of the static-dynamic continuum.

Module 4 Blog Post
Engaging Learners with New Strategies and Tools
Collaboration:
- Stixy : works like an online bulletin board or whiteboard. It offers a work space where you can place content and collaborate with other people on the web. (Bogdan, 2011)
- Wikis: a piece of server software that allows users to freely create and edit Web page content using any Web browser. Wiki supports hyperlinks and has a simple text syntax for creating new pages and crosslinks between internal pages on the fly. (wiki.org, 2002)
- Writeboard: a free collaborative writing software. It can be used to write, edit, track changes, and rollback to previous versions. (Brogdan, 2011).
Communication:
- Skype: is software that enables you to make free calls anywhere in the world. Skype uses P2P (peer-to-peer) technology to connect you with other users. It offers several features, including SkypeOut calling from Skype to regular and mobile phones worldwide, conference calling, and secure file transferring. You can also now share your screen with other users. Skype calls focus on video and audio quality, and secure the calls with end-to-end encryption.

(France, 2010).
Blog: A blog is often a mixture of what is happening in a person's life and what is happening on the Web, a kind of hybrid diary/guide site. (Marketing Terms, 2012).
E-mail: Electronic mail that is sent and received via the internet.
Content:
Delicious: allows users to collect web-based resources into stacks which can be shared within the community and added to by others. (Marquis, 2012).
Twiddla: a real-time online collaboration tool. (Twiddla, 2012).
Wridea: Wridea is a web service first to avoid ideas being forgotten, then to organize and improve those ideas by giving you the opportunity to share your ideas with friends and necessary tools to improve your ideas by yourself and individually. (Bogdan, 2011).
