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 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.

Unit two shares that your target audience has access to the internet. Some technologies are often used because they’re convenient or available, while others are used because they’re “cool” or “Cutting edge” (LDT Module 2, Feb 2022). What is described as “online education” involves many different uses of technology to facilitate learning (McPherson, M.S, & Bacow, L.S., 2015). Students participate in learning activities remotely and accessible at any time. It can be synchronous (live classes) or asynchronous (pre-recorded. Blended learning is face-to-face teachings with on-learning resources. Students attend class physically engaging with coursework and materials online. This allows for them to have a more integrated learning experience. Online and blended learning are significant because they p...
