Educational Technology Door Mind Map: Educational Technology

1. HOW will I find out?

1.1. Try out ALL of the suggested sites, programs, and apps.

1.2. Collaboration with peers and the Professor

1.3. Being exposed to new ideas (already used Fotobabble, wikis, and mindmeister in the first two weeks!)

2. What do I KNOW?

2.1. Technology is constantly changing

2.2. Many programs can do the same thing but finding ones that are user friendly is key

2.3. Few are "bad", some are just more powerful than others

2.4. It should be interactive, fun, and useful for students

3. What do I WANT to know?

3.1. How others are incorporating tech in their classrooms

3.2. New fun/useful tools to try

3.3. Issues with using it and how to adapt and overcome them.

4. What did I LEARN?

4.1. There are MANY fantastic apps, website, and programs that can be extremely beneficial in the educational setting

4.2. Exactly what a WebQuest is, how to create a free and painless one, and how fun and interactive they can be

4.3. What a Wiki was and how they can be used to share ideas, complete group work, let everyone have input on the same page

4.4. SEVERAL ways to incorporate technology into Physical Education. I have used it slightly and was never "against" it, but was never forced (for the lack of a better term) to be creative and make plans to incorporate it effectively into this setting.

4.5. Specific information about the technology in my school and how it compares to others. It seems as though we are near the top in regards to availability and training opportunities for technology.

4.6. Just going to Google images and citing the source often times still does not permit the usage of that image. Permissions must be given or offered. Using your own pictures can be the easiest way to get copyright free images :)

4.7. People from all over the world, in very different situations are doing many similar things but also offered a plethora of information that I never thought or heard of and are applicable to my teaching situations

4.8. Online Graduate classes can be a very enjoyable experience and do not involve just "busy work". I thoroughly enjoyed the class and learned a ton of usable ideas that I plan to implement this coming year!
