Below is the link for my created mind map.

As I think about my philosophy of distance education, I ponder on my own experiences. Being affiliated in an online program has opened my eyes to things in which I am almost certain I would never have embarked upon. Opening my eyes to podcast, video conferencing, blogs, and wikis to name a few, the online arena has broadened my horizons. Therefore, in relation to the“static-dynamic continuum” I may be half and way there.
Leslie Moller stated,” The dynamic end of the interactivity continuum includes tools that involve learners on a much deeper cognitive level" (2008). With this statement in mind, I am certain that I am at the half way mark. Still having a great deal or learning and implementing to do, I must make these facets shown in my classroom. I must stay abreast of these dynamic ways of learning, using, and thinking in order to better serve my students and myself.

Evonie,
ReplyDeleteIt lookes like you understand the importance of staying up with the dynamic ways of learning, using, and thinking. This will help your students be more successful, and it will also assist you in your learning as technology grows and changes.
I am in the middle also. As you have stated being in an online classroom has really added to the continuum. If we continue along this path, I am sure we will reach the area of dynamic technologies.
ReplyDeleteEvonie, I think the majority of us are somewhere in the middle of the continuum. As there are technologie like some of the Web 2.0 tools that I would love to add to my repetoire of instructionl strategies. I am sure that students would benefit from its use.
