Recap of 9/9/2013

Today's lecture was conducted entirely in Evernote.  As mentioned before beginning Evernote was not designed to be a presentation software but I wanted to show you all what Evernote could do.

We went over the objectives for Chapter 2.

1.) Explain the nature of an instructional event and how technology supports it.
~Remember an event can be as small as one lecture or as big as an entire course
~An event includes all the teaching methods, tools, technology, as well as the 
  learning experiences inside the event

+ To keep in mind as you go through the Learning Behaviors= all behavior theories are perspectives of theorist, if you are an eclectic teacher, you pull from different theories at different times.

2.) Describe the process of teaching and learning within a communication framework.
~ Teachers send messages and students receive the message.  There must be
   accurate transmission of messages to the receiver.  Teachers can check this by
   using feedback.
~ Interference can cause inaccurate transmission of messages: 3 interferences
              Environmental, Psychological, Personal

3.) Explain the key theoretical perspectives for learning, including behaviorist, cognitive, and constructivist
~ We went over just an overview of these theories. Check out this chart to help
   you understand the differences between theories: http://ci484-learning-technologies.wikispaces.com/Behaviorism,+Cognitivism,+Constructivism+%26+Connectivism

4.) Describe student diversity in terms of learning styles and multiple intelligence and relate the role of educational technology in meeting diverse needs
~ Cognitive Styles- preferences and tendencies on how one thinks
~Learning Styles- conditions we learn best in
~Intelligence-Capability of learning
~Multiple Intelligence: dominant intelligence

5.) Explain teaching and learning and technology's process from a systems point of view
~Once you know your teaching style, your student style of learning, and the
  technology you have access to you are ready to prepare your instruction.  It is a
  process, step by step.

6.) Identify the key points in the evolution of education technology
" The holistic approach to educational technology has not always been the accepted model.  For many years, educational technology had a very narrow, technical definition.  The evolution from an equipment-based view of educational technology to a teaching-and-learning based view"(Teaching and Learning with Technology, Duffy and McDonald, Pg 37)... is fairly new!

7.) Articulate a personal view of the role of educational technology in teaching and learning
~Start understanding your own learning styles, preferences, tendencies, and how you think students learn.  This will be important when molding your instruction to pick up your strengths and help compensate for your weaknesses.
