This course has meant a lot in terms of technological learning. Lots of external websites that are useful in the present and hold potential benefits both as an educator as well as a student are:
- Etherpad (experienced its efficient working for a couple of different collaborations, including copying the chat transcript),
- Webs as a web-builder for group project
- Wix as a creative web-builder for the individual project
In addition, there is large collection of external links that Selia has provided to aid in general teaching as well as specific to using instructional technology.
A great ‘treat’ we were given was a compilation of all the resources collected during the term of the course. Since we were using two different platforms – Blackboard and C2C, this consolidation was very helpful.
I sometimes hear educators saying that they are not required to do certain things and that they have a life and that they need to balance and work and home etc etc. However, I often see how a little bit of extra effort on the part of the educator makes things so much easier for learners. Noble professionals sometimes just have to reach out to make the difference that they can!
