EDU 697 week 6 Reflection

Reflection

The MATLT program has been challenging. I have continually to learn and develop many skills that can be useful in my future teaching. The techniques of using technology to teach and learn have enhanced my teaching tremendous. During the redesigning of each assignment from prior assignment has taught me how to take the old and turn it into the new. Old teaching skills can be updated by the use of technology to deliver. Learning to refine my teaching and technology skills has allowed me to reach my students at another level in their learning.

My instructor has made just one phone call to me that gave me a better understanding about redesigning assignments. Using technology tools to explain your understanding of the PLO’s was a key element that I had not done in completing the redesigning of the assignment. So that was my mistake of submitting a word document only. I have learned that each e-mail that your instructor sends they are very important in achieving a better understanding and grade. All I had to do was to read the e-mail it gave all the instructions that I needed in completing the assignments.

I have also learned that the use of educational technology for assessment and evaluation can be beneficial in the measuring of student’s learning. Instructional design and the use of technology help to meet the needs of each student at their learning level.

From the beginning to the end of the MATLT program I have engaged in an explosion of new ideas, teaching and learning skills that will help to motivate students to learn. I have learned in speaking to the traditional teachers, they are mostly afraid of the changes that technology has cause in the way students learn and the way teachers teach. The skills that I have accomplish from the MATLT program able me to help prepare students for 21^st century.

The constructive suggestion for how the final project experience could be improved is to allow the reflection to come after the final project. Looking ahead to the next assignment without finishing the first assignment will sometime confuse me. I like to stay focus on what I am during, not what I got to do. The discussion that is due for week 6 need to be two week before so the appropriate feedback can be receive in time.
