Using Technology to Enhance Inquiry-Based Learning eMINTS year 1
This course had me diving into many different areas of using technology in the classroom. The assignment that I liked best was on authentic learning. I had to create a lesson for students that involved them interacting with their surroundings while also comparing their surroundings with those globally. In completing the task, it helped me to see the value of authentic learning and the affect it had on the students and their global understanding.
Another part of the course was spent analyzing websites and also critiquing my classroom website as I looked to see that it met the standards of the eMINTS evaluation. It helped me to look for important things and reminded me to be mindful of keeping my site updated. It is important as professionals to remember those details. The evaluation and an assignment on safety had me reflect on internet safety in the classroom and building. It brought into view the necessity of teaching internet safety and the benefit of constantly interacting with students as they interact with technology. This course helped me to explore many topics in technology and brought into focus many of the important ones.
