This article caused me to consider what I know about educational technology and expand that concept to include a much more comprehensive view of the field. While it is easy to associate educational technology with the more visible and public aspect of the definition, I learned that such areas as ethical practice and appropriate technological processes are equally important in understanding the extent of educational technology as a whole.
As a result of this reading I will certainly begin viewing educational technology from all different angles as I continue to study, create, use, and manage processes and tools myself. Though upon reflection of what I learned throughout the reading many of the elements of the definition begin to seem as though they were always a part of my conceptualization of educational technology, it is important to note that this article built a framework around seemingly related, yet undefined notions related to my experiences with educational technology.
Excellent first artifact, Dave. I like how you put the link to your published Google Doc right at the top, for easy location. Also, it's important to include a reflection (which you did) on all of your artifacts. Ethical practice is something that people sometimes forget. In this course, we have a student who is deaf, so I am highly aware of the limitations and challenges faced by that person interacting with online course materials.
ReplyDeleteAlso, you have added the label for the AECT Standard as well. I'm going to post this comment to our G+ Community as well, so students can view it.
Great point about being able to find solutions and ways of improving by crowd-sourcing. I wonder to what extent educators are using their networks and to what extent this is an emerging trend.
