My expectations of this course are to learn about the new technology available and how to effectively use it to learn and teach. Whenever I hear the word technology I usually cringe because I feel like its way over my head and somewhat like a foreign language. Hopefully, this course will help to rid me of my fears of using technology.
I expect my classmates to have respect for me and the teacher by being mindful of other people's opinions, not speaking out of turn, and not speaking when the instructor is teaching. I hope my classmates and I can work together as we approach new materials and collaborate our ideas about how we can use the material for education.
I expect my instructor to come to class ready to teach enthusiastically. I expect him to be organized and fair with his grading. I expect him to have respect and appreciation for my ideas. I hope that he is willing to be patient with those of us in the class who are not technologically savvy.
Questions: How can I apply technology to teaching other nurses, or teaching patients about how to care for a specific medical problems? (I'm a nursing major)
Can you teach us how to properly use powerpoint so that the learners retain the information being presented?

Hailey,
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed reading your posts and seeing your thinking made concrete.
I am replying in this first post to address the questions you pose:
RE: applying what we learn to nurses -- I hope you will be able to answer this question by the end of the term better than I can!
RE: powerpoint -- ugh! I generally do not like powerpoint. The key is to use it sparingly and use lots of visuals--not text. We often remember in pictures not words--so use lots of pictures and images. We'll talk about this more throughout the term.
Keep up the good work.
