All the best!
This is an assignment I worked on while studying instructional technologies while I was enrolled in Teacher's College.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Assignment 1.
One goal of this assignment is to give you time to explore and review the many technologies, software, apps and resources that are currently available to educators. A second and in my opinion more important goal is to give you opportunity to consider how you might use these things in the classroom. The hope is that you will generate a review that you can use as a starting point to guide your use of technology as you begin your life as ateacher. The product you submit for assignment 1 shou ld contain the following :
1. A review of contemporary educational technologies
2. A review of presentation, screen capture and movie production technologies.
3. A review of mobile education al applications for Apple iPAD or Android or Google or Web 2.0 applications or for a mix of operating systems
4. A review of the many educational technology resources that are now available (blogs, web sites, repositories, li nkedin groups, facebook groups, etc to guide your use of technology or to elsewise guide your professional development when you are teaching
