Due to publishing issues that I've encountered for this weeks comments I created a new post as an alternative way to comment to my peer's blog.
For Angie's Reflection Blog:
This is an impressive reflection that I too, gained knowledge and information to jumpstart the new school year on Professional Development plan. Thank you for your sharing.
For Jackie's Reflection Blog:
It is also important to balance the usage of technology. So many times WASC will emphasis the schools to integrate teaching with technologies. This is correct but nevertheless sometimes new programs were introduced with minimal training. This class has not only introduced me to blogging but also instilled self-confidence as a new user.
Si Yu’os Ma’åse’, Jovie, for sharing your thoughtful reflections and for finding an alternative way to engage with your peers despite the publishing challenges. Eventually, the technical glitches will be resolved, and everything should work smoothly. Your comments highlight two important themes from this course: the value of professional growth and the need for balanced technology integration.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your observation that technology should enhance learning rather than become an end in itself. Effective implementation requires adequate training and support for educators. It is also wonderful to hear that this course has helped build your confidence as a new user of blogging tools. Developing both technical skills and self-assurance is an important step toward meaningful technology integration in the classroom.
