 I couldn't figure out how to move my concept map for Technology and Media for Distance Education over to my blog so I decided to use color and font type to display it.


When thinking about where I am on the “static-dynamic continuum.” I think that I am more toward the dynamic part, but with that said I feel that I still have a lot to learn to make it fully to the dynamic side. This blog has been new to me and so is the video that we are creating, but I still am more than just watching videos as I like to learn by taking the technology available to me and constructing new meaning from it. I love to learn through the use of technology and not just watching the videos so that is why I feel that I am more toward the dynamic part than the static part of the continuum.

  1. I do agree that we have to practice in order to become dynamic. Is there a particular educational technology that has caught your attention.

    I like wikis, blogs, and nings myself. I also have Moodle accessible to me. Blogs make it much harder to post anything that is not an image. What do you like?
