• Reflect on the “Personal Theory of Learning” you developed in Week 1. Summarize any modifications to your personal theory of learning you have made as a result of your learning in this course.
As we started this course my personal learning theory was the concept that students learn from doing and applying. This line of thought holds sway for me today as I reflect on the different strategies I studied in the course Bridging Learning Theory, Instruction, and Technology. As I learned the importance of theories such as constructionism and dual coding, my belief is that the 21st century classroom should be student centered and involved.
• Describe any immediate adjustments you will make to your instructional practice regarding technology integration as a result of your learning in this course. Identify two technology tools you would like to use with your students and how the tools will support or enhance your students’ learning.
I will integrate several forms of technology into my curriculum next year. I am preparing assignments that will use programs such as Inspiration and Webspiration to develop concept maps, powerpoints, videos, and VoiceThreads. My goal is to have my students actively involved in the exploration of history. These programs will promote collaborative groups and allow my students to discuss the themes and concepts we are studying.
• List two long-term goal changes you would like to make to your instructional practice regarding technology integration and outline a strategy for achieving them.
