In this course I learned how to use a class wiki which was created by Dr. Grace and Dr. Theresa. This was a challenge because I had never used a wiki before like most of my classmates had. It took some weeks to figure out how to move around in it. Now it seems very easy.
For my integrated unit I used technology (type 2) to create a student sample, which included using Dipity.com for the timeline, and a brochure template. My integrated unit was about learning about time. A student sample was created as a brochure about a student's family's history incorporating photos, brief information about each family member and their birthdates graphed on dipity.com which was then transferred to the brochure by a screenshot. The templates for creating other integrated units will be an excellent resource for me in the future.
One of our textbooks was Handbook of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPCK) for Educators. This book provided a lot of information and resources that I was unaware of. Reflections were written about each chapter. Learning to use type 2 technology was the focus of this course and was required for our final reflection. TPCK was an excellent resource especially for those new to technology in education.
