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.
