Thing 18 - Reflection week
Today is Reflection time.
I've gone over some of my earlier posts and I'm amazed at how much we have covered in what seems like a short space of time.
I didn't know there was so many tools, apps, feeds and "things" out there. I always thought myself pretty cluey with technology, but now I realise there is so much more.
I can't say that all these "things" are useful to my day to day work, but you never know when a student may come up and ask a question about something. Instead of giving them a blank stare I may be able to say "oh yes, I've seen that before..."
I can see a lot more use of some of these things in my personal life though, and share my knowledge to friends and family.
I did the VARK quiz and oddly discovered that I have a medium to strong read/write learning preference.
Excellent!
ReplyDeleteI remember soemone form the very first program saying it just gavce them a confidence they didn't have before...so when soemone does come up to the desk- it may be soemthing you haven't heard of before...but are willing to give it a go/play/experiment.
Rememeber- it's also about using the right tool for the job. Content before technology ;)
