Module 1 Reflection for 7105

Module 1 Blog Topics (select one):

1. What are your beliefs about how people learn best? What is the purpose of learning theory in educational technology?

I believe the people learn in three different ways: from examples, through experiences, and viewing actions. From examples, people can see exactly how something is suppose to be done or completed. They can follow this model or tweak it to make it their own. Through experiences, people can gain the knowledge that they need and the know how to teach someone else. This gives them a hands-on experience and also allows them to be involved in the process. When people view the actions of others, they can see and hear a live model with a direct view of the outcome.

The purpose of learning theory in educational technology is to show or provide an explanation for how people learn what they know or reasons for their certain reactions and behaviors. Educational technology is the knowledge or know how of using technology for the purpose of education.

Wow Shar this is very impressive,

I especially liked how you incorporated interviews into your video to show the active opinions of others. This part of the video was very successful when you showed the view of the screen, that we see when learning online. I tried to find out how to do this and I am still confused. While watching your video, I wondered about volume control, some parts were harder for me to hear than others, but other than that it was great.

Lori,

Just by viewing your video I see a lot of things I could have added or done differently with mine. It is definitely engaging and you kept my attention. The volume control is great and so is the background music. Is this your first time creating a video? Because it was the first time for me and I can tell a big difference between our two videos. I guess Shar's video is true. I could have used a mentor guiding me through this course I might have been a bit more successful, but back to your video. I especially liked the pictures of the children.

Karen: Karen,
I like the fact that you use your smart board to create your video. I wish a had of thought to use my webcam, instead I tried to upload feed from the video on my camera phone and I was unsucessful. I think if the placement of the camera had a actually shown your face in the beginning of the video it would have been better. I like the information that you presented.

Sarita: Hi Sarita,

Your video is awesome. I especially like your introduction, vocals are very clear, very informative and attention getter. The video flowed well. You used very few stills. The only thing I could see that may need to be improved upon is the audiovisual feed.

LeAnn: Hi LeAnn, I especially liked the clean and clear transitions through your video. I also liked how you set up your video as a Conference. I look forward to talking to you soon. I am interested and curious to know how you embedded the other videos within your video. Thank you for sharing.

I included A wiki in every group because it serves so many purposes. All three must subjects must be used in  conjunction with the other in order to run a successful online program. Almost all of them can be placed as subtopics of the others. Just like a Wiki Board can be a means of collaboration with students in group projects, ways to communicate and provide each other with feedback, and also serves as a way for professors to provide and/or facilitate course content.
