Thank you for a rewarding and fun experience! I found myself staying in the module longer than planned every day \u2013 a good time to just stop and reflect, and\u2026play! <\/em><\/p>\n

I enjoyed the readings because some were \u201caffirming\u201d but others made me consider deeper perspectives different than mine. While I did not fully agree with some parts of the readings that presented technology and the future of education in dark or negative ways, I can see how those ideas can be real dangers of the use of technology in the classroom. Most recently, I read the interview where people from two different backgrounds gave opinions on how technology can influence education and educators. While I found some of the statements to be a little blunt, the interviewees addressed the issues with authentic thoughts. <\/em><\/p>\n

The reading that resonated with me the most described the learning environment as an ecosystem where space and networking and human connections intertwine. I think this article gave a realistic framework on which technology and everything else facilitating learning can be implemented. The first article I reviewed was also an enjoyable read on how smart and virtual technology can enable learning, but ultimately, we learners are still analog. <\/em><\/p>\n

The discussions in the module shared and explored interesting ideas! I was inspired by all statements, and I am going to try some of the tools recommended, such as Google tools and new frameworks for keeping students engaged. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

I found the activities to be good opportunities for contemplation and I believe I reached many insightful conclusions by doing them. Although I gained awareness via the completion of the activities, I think I most enjoyed posting images to my portfolio. The first one is something I decided to embrace lately: audere est facere (to dare is to do), and I think it relates well to why I chose to be part of this module. My \u201cdream\u201d technology was a gratifying exercise and I found myself seeking examples and images to represent it (I looked at immersive Van Gough, VR for teaching, etc.). <\/em><\/p>\n

I will definitely use many of the ideas my peer DF authors recommended and even expand on some of the things I use currently, such as Jamboard \u2013 Google, whiteboards, and infographics. I would also like to use Hypothe.is (https:\/\/web.hypothes.is\/<\/a>) just like we did in this module- perhaps this is something on which I can receive some training. CoLab is organizing many meaningful events. Unfortunately. I am not finding enough time to attend everything I would like to attend. Perhaps more events in the summer and new technology introductions could benefit me and others. I found it valuable how CoLab has been posting videos of events or development sessions. I learned a lot from available resources on using Canvas and Zoom in this way. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":232,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"design_bite_tag":[],"design_bite_type":[],"df_module":[176],"genai_activity":[],"mini_syllabi_group":[],"portfolio_type":[47],"class_list":["post-176417","portfolio_part","type-portfolio_part","status-publish","hentry","df_module-tech","portfolio_type-written-reflection","wpbf-post"],"edit_form_id":"27","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/colab.plymouthcreate.net\/design-forward\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio_part\/176417","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/colab.plymouthcreate.net\/design-forward\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio_part"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/colab.plymouthcreate.net\/design-forward\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/portfolio_part"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colab.plymouthcreate.net\/design-forward\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/232"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colab.plymouthcreate.net\/design-forward\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=176417"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/colab.plymouthcreate.net\/design-forward\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio_part\/176417\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/colab.plymouthcreate.net\/design-forward\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=176417"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"design_bite_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colab.plymouthcreate.net\/design-forward\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/design_bite_tag?post=176417"},{"taxonomy":"design_bite_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colab.plymouthcreate.net\/design-forward\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/design_bite_type?post=176417"},{"taxonomy":"df_module","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colab.plymouthcreate.net\/design-forward\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/df_module?post=176417"},{"taxonomy":"genai_activity","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colab.plymouthcreate.net\/design-forward\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/genai_activity?post=176417"},{"taxonomy":"mini_syllabi_group","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colab.plymouthcreate.net\/design-forward\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mini_syllabi_group?post=176417"},{"taxonomy":"portfolio_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colab.plymouthcreate.net\/design-forward\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio_type?post=176417"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
