Reflection

The learning activity during week 6 and 7 was to create a learning activity which included technology and implemented it accordingly. It allowed me to demonstrate what I have learned in this course. I was able to create a lesson that I could easily integrate into my classroom.

In my classroom I will begin to incorporate what I have learned in this course. I think the biggest things I have learned are the 4 change agents. These change agents are democratization of knowledge, participatory learning, authentic learning, and multimodal learning. Through learning about these agents I have been able to see the positive effects that technology has in the classroom.

I will allow my students more time to research their topics and I will act as the facilitator. Through exploration, students will be able to engage in authentic learning. These are 21st century skills that students will need in order to solve problems later as they progress in school. I will begin to use more technology tools as well as online learning modules to help my students understand the curriculum better.
