Learning Technologies: Selection, Design and Application (ETEC 565)

Reflection: ETEC 565 - Learning Technologies: Selection, Design and Application (elective course)

The purpose of this course was to act as an overview of a variety of different learning technologies.  We had to create a piece in an LMS, edit both audio, video, and image media, blog about our experiences, and practice our communication skills in both asynchronous and synchronous modes.  The practicality of this course was quite refreshing, with less emphasis on the theoretical, and more emphasis on how the various learning theories applied to specific technologies.

This is a Wordpress blog which includes each of the reflections I produced as part of my ETEC 565 exploration of different digital technologies. This was a great activity, and definitely one of the more useful parts of this course.

Artifact: Digital Story

This is the story of my son's early life in Thailand where we lived from when he was just about one year old until he was nearly three years old. It was a fun project to do, and I think we will be able to show it to him to help him remember his time in Thailand.
