  • Hello, my name is Makeda Taylor. I am a very enthusiastic individual when it comes to learning new things.
  • My Avatar shows that I am a energetic person behind these glasses, although you see a calm and sensitive person with them on.
  • For this course, I am expecting to gain much more experience with technology in the classroom. This will help me to improve me, as a teacher along with my students with the use of technology in the clasroom
  • With this assignment, I've struggled in the past and was not able to comprehend on much of what has been taught but now I know that I am ready to challenge this course once more.
  • I can apply this activity as a fun and game session for the children. They seem to be more technology driven in this modern age and will surely take part willingly. Making sure that it will not be something daily.
  •  When students are using technology as a tool or a support for communicating with others, they are in an active role rather than the passive role of recipient of information transmitted by a teacher, textbook, or broadcast. The student is actively making choices about how to generate, obtain, manipulate, or display information. Technology use allows many more students to be actively thinking about information, making choices, and executing skills than is typical in teacher-led lessons. Moreover, when technology is used as a tool to support students in performing authentic tasks, the students are in the position of defining their goals, making design decisions, and evaluating their progress.
