Identify two insights related to technology that
inspired you.
There are two insights related to technology that
inspired me. The first one is that 81 percent of teacher educators teaching pre-service
teachers are not technology savvy. And, just because technology is bombarding
education continue to implement new technology into my classroom. This
implicates that the trend will also change but I should not become overwhelmed
by it. Research new technology for reviews and other teachers perceptions well
before implementing it into the learning environment.
Identify two insights related to andragogy that
inspired you.
Malcolm Knowles (1973), the father of adult learning theory, emphasis
that adults learn differently from other student populations. He notes that teachers
support their teaching and learning practice with a pedagogical concept.
Whereas, higher education teachers support teaching and learning with
andragogical concept. For higher educators, this implies that the teaching must
relate or have a purpose for why adults need to learn. When adults connect with
the idea that learning technology is essential and understand why it is
essential, they are more likely to perform the action.
Explain how you will incorporate these insights
into your future teaching practice.
I have a legal obligation to incorporate these
insights into my future teaching practice according to the National standards
for 21st Century skills. Therefore, I will have students create a
lesson plan database. Next, they will choose and present one of the lesson
plans to the class using technology. Student may make PowerPoint Picture
Books and interactive lessons created in MS PowerPoint to provide interactivity
through a customizable electronic learning. Another idea is a multimedia iMovie
students generate literacy projects that essentially come to life. Needless to say careful planning of instruction
the assessment of these outcomes will occur. These collaborative learning
activities will provide the guidance and classroom environment to discuss the
learning outcome and assessment (Morrison, et al.. 2002)

Your insights and picture book project idea are very valuable for me. Besides teaching college students and teachers, we might have opportunities to teach adults in private sectors’ training centers. Many of the learners are not technology savvy, but they need to learn technologies for their jobs. They learn differently than young students because they have needs. I might incorporate the PowerPoint in my discipline to have learners work on picture book project and animation for presenting math problem solutions. Learners will explore the purposes and applications of these products. Creating picture books and animation with PowerPoint are fun! Thanks!
