EDUC560

The first session I attended the course educational technology, I really wanted to know what it will be about and I was worried whether it will be interesting or not. At the beginning me and my friends, we knew that most of the work and the tasks will be completed using the internet. We were worried how we are going to fulfill the required tasks because most of the time we suffer from weak internet connections in our villages. Some of my friends started to nag in their side talks but personally I decided to go over this obstacle and try to do my best in this course. Session after session the course was becoming more interesting and full of new skills that allows us to integrate technology in education. Each time we learned about a new application or a software and we were able to value their importance on our lives. 



New skills we learned:

1- The live webinar we were asked to attend on the internet was a very nice experience, it really showed an easy access to knowledge and learning away from the use of books. I was fascinated because many people around the world were attending the webinar and I was happy because I was able to chat with them and with the presenter and ask him any questions I wanted.




2- We learned also how to use a Poll every where application. It is a live chatting audience response that allows us to chat with our friends and colleagues.



3- This site which is the blog we learned how to use it in this course. I find it as an another window to share posts that comes to my mind with my colleagues and friends, beside the face book. Also we were introduced to padlet. Any kind of sharing we can do it on padlet. We can write all together on it, each one on his computer and share our responses.




4- Also we learned how to use the google drive software. Any information or data could be saved on the google drive where its kept and protected from viruses. It makes the use of USB superfluous.

5- Moreover we learned to construct a webquest, it us a lesson format in which students can access it on the internet. it provides them with new information related to the lesson and with specific performance tasks.


6- We learned how to make a scientific poster using the power point that helps us to put a research we have done into an A0 paper and highlight on it only the important findings which are worth to be known by others.

This is my poster that I have created.
