E-learning Tools

I found it helpful to read and re-read Horton's concept of "levels of granularity." Staying on task is just as important for us as educators as it is for us as learners.

New resources

In Dr. Zieger's class, we have been reading from Grabe. I have started to work with both "kidspiration" and "telenaut." I am constantly searching for easy ways for young students to use technology to connect them to other cultures!

People First!

In reading Horton's Chapters 1-5, my concerns were addressed. As educators trying to integrate technology, we must think of the abilities and interests of our learner audience. It seems that many of us are so enamored with the technology, that we sometimes forget what we are trying to accomplish.

Once we assess out audience, we can carefully choose the appropriate tools and hardware, etc.
