Key Personal Learning

The merits of taking a course in hardware and software in instructional development has enabled to structure my focus on the components of the computer which are critical for the development of any discipline when using technology to enhance a lesson. The introductory lessons in which the focus begins with the framers of the computer field as well as comparing and contrasting the generations of computers both piqued my interest and made me cognizant of my own awareness of the changing nature of the generations of computers. Through numerous discussions, I have also discovered that the talk of education with integrated Web 2.0 technology is mightier than ever and teachers must avail themselves of all resources to prepare their students to compete or hold their own in this climate. The actual study, implementation, and use of blogging requires more thought than action because the information one ultimately shares must have an intrinsically perceived value for the reader. The questions and statements reflecting personal opinions on the use of Wikis, Blogs, and Podcasts show that many educators espouse the use of these medium that serve as a means to enhance student engagement through collaborative. The discussion, research, and reflection on Assistive Technology, its efficacy, and teacher awareness of it implementation must be ongoing as it is a feature in students’ education which is often overlooked.
