In this presentation what interest me was learning of the new technologies which I did not know existed online. For instance the Acrobat Adobe Pro Connect. It was a new discovery and wanted to venture more of what it really is. However, it would have been really beneficial for us if the presenters could have showed us more on that than just touching on the surface. It was the same with other technologies which was introduced merely stating maybe a detailed description would have helped us . This is because i'm sure most of us wanted to venture and apply with our students when we create a DE environment in the class. As I have mentioned earlier, we could try and test all this technology in our classroom to see if it is effective and perhaps students could use it when the teachers are on courses or not in school.
However, both presenters managed to create an interactive teaching by posing questions and activities.

Yes, I can see how it seem like a "surface" treatment of the different tech.
ReplyDeletePerhaps it still served its function: to whet your appetite, so that you can find out more about how the different distance education and educational technologies that can help supplement your teaching and learning.
Afterall, what was mentioned at the presentation are only but a few examples of what must be thousands of available applications that can be used in the context of education.
So in a word: EXPLORE!
