My personal concept of educational technology has evolved greatly since
the start of this course. Granted, educational technology is generally thought
of as the use of technology to facilitate learning along with the various
technological resources and materials available. However, I feel that it is all
in how that multitude of resources is used that makes it what it is.
When it comes to learning, I strongly believe that all children can
learn but they learn differently. I can apply that same train of thought to
educational philosophy. All educators can utilize it, but they utilize it
differently. Personally, my educational background is strongly grounded in
traditionalist ideals. For this reason, a lot of the technology I use in the
classroom is teacher centered.
As I explore the optional means of incorporating technology into the
classroom, my methods change. For instance, when I understood the concept of
wikis and gained an appreciation of their usefulness, I began to think of ways
in which they could be worked into my classroom. Another useful tool would be a
classroom blog. The ways in which we can use technology to bolster learning is
limitless.
