LDT 501-WOL in Kindergarten as a Teacher

 Hi Everyone! :) 

I believe that as an educator I need to continue to enhance my skills and knowledge in Learning Design and Technology. There are continuous changes occurring in the education field which requires for me to stay in sync with the world of technology. I am learning more about the importance of implementing processes and knowledge into my current field as a Kindergarten Teacher. 

In the course I am currently enrolled LDT 501, I continue to gain insight of what the meaning is of a Learning Design and Technology. 

E. D. Wagner (2021) stated:

The role of a learning designer has continued to evolve to make room for emergent technologies and frameworks. Always the goal has been to design the most effective learning using all theories, processes, or technologies at our disposal. In the modern version of the field, there are simply more of these theories, processes, and increasingly advanced technologies to assist us. Understanding how various design disciplines can inform our work as learning designers is both intimidating and exciting. This is a discipline where one never ceases to learn new skills and ideas. We can never be stagnant as a field and must increasingly improve our ability to learn from and collaborate with designers from a wide variety of backgrounds.

With that being said, I will implement and apply the teachings into the classroom to enhance the learning environment for students.

WOL-I'm On the Curve

  In the readings from Unit 1 of Roger’s Diffusion of Innovation Theory, I believe that I fall in the area of Early Majority. I will see that something will work or have seen the work of new technology and find out as much information as possible to take on what I can learn and apply new technologies into the classroom. I think about how I can integrate the innovative technologies to engage students and introduce them to something new. I think about the ways that technology use is encouraged in education and continue to find new ways to facilitate teaching students. I want to continue to apply new knowledge in the educational settings in which I teach. I feel that being a teacher requires new knowledge in all areas to be effective and in the realm of what we continue to learn for future generations to come. As a lead teacher, I am expected to be able to apply new teachings of technology into the classroom and to be able to share the information and technological program use wit...

LDT 506: Self-Assessment and Reflection

  Introduction As I reflect on my growth as an evaluator through the LDT 506 course, I am reminded of the importance of continuous self-assessment and reflection in professional development. This reflection will explore my current competencies, strengths and weaknesses identified through the self-assessment, surprising competencies, and future actions I plan to take to enhance my skills as an evaluator. Engaging in this reflective practice has allowed me to gain new knowledge and understanding about the continuous learning needed to add to my professional development.
