Tech has never been a tool I was particularly educated on, nor has it been a tool I\u2019ve wanted to layer into my pedagogical styling. Authentic teaching, engagement in material, building academic relationships, honing life-long skills, developing a growth mindset, and supporting students as they \u201cconnect the dots\u201d between higher education and their future career pathways\u2014these are the foundations by which I teach and I\u2019ve been extremely stubborn to the idea that tech has a place in this foundation.<\/p>\n
Through this module, with the annotations work, answering questions (and responding to my most respected colleagues) with full vulnerability to my in-experiences, and creating a (dream) product (so proud of this and the amazing feedback that came with it) that supported my foundations, including inclusion, I have reached a position that differs from where I started. Questions such as \u201cDoes AI and technology hold ground in teaching?\u201d and \u201cIf tech choice were more intentional, could they play a bigger\u2014better role in educating our students and?\u201d<\/p>\n
I feel being more in”tech”tional (Howard Reingold, that one was for you) is the key to successful tech in the classroom; it can\u2019t all be \u201cdoom and gloom\u201d and it needs to be properly reviewed and researched. We (as education providers) need to care and respect technology in our learning environments. I plan to do more extensive research on tech I can learn and use in my teaching, to better engage with my students, and for students to feel they can participate on a level that\u2019s inclusive and adaptable.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve enjoyed this work immensely over these last two weeks. Thank you for the opportunity!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":241,"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-178752","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\/178752","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\/241"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colab.plymouthcreate.net\/design-forward\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=178752"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/colab.plymouthcreate.net\/design-forward\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio_part\/178752\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/colab.plymouthcreate.net\/design-forward\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=178752"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"design_bite_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colab.plymouthcreate.net\/design-forward\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/design_bite_tag?post=178752"},{"taxonomy":"design_bite_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colab.plymouthcreate.net\/design-forward\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/design_bite_type?post=178752"},{"taxonomy":"df_module","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colab.plymouthcreate.net\/design-forward\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/df_module?post=178752"},{"taxonomy":"genai_activity","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colab.plymouthcreate.net\/design-forward\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/genai_activity?post=178752"},{"taxonomy":"mini_syllabi_group","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colab.plymouthcreate.net\/design-forward\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mini_syllabi_group?post=178752"},{"taxonomy":"portfolio_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colab.plymouthcreate.net\/design-forward\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio_type?post=178752"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
