Week 1 - January 11, 2009 - Introduction to course

Key information/ideas I encountered this week is that times have changed. I need to become more aware and more current with todays technology in order to be an effective teacher. I realize that change is taken place and that this change will be reflected in the classroom. the old way of doing things is no longer effecient. Some ways of incorporating technology into the classroom includes have a class website and having an online forum where students can interact with one another. I also learned that material needs to be presented to students in a way that is similiar to what they are use to. We were use to books so we always have hand-outs written like pages of a book. Students are used to multimedia and need information presented to them in a visually appealing way with graphics, colour schemes and interesting layouts. I also learned that most students are visual learners.
