EDLD+5364-Week+1+Reflection


 * Week 1 Reflection**

In this first week of EDLD 5364, we are reintroduced to constructivism, which views learning "as a product of experience and social discourse" (Southwest Educational Development Laboratory, 1999). Constructivism explores the idea that knowledge is cultivated in a variety of ways so information should be presented in a variety of ways and students should be able to demonstrate their learning inc reative ways that reflect their understanding of the concepts. Technology is an excellent tool to vary the delivery of information to be learned. There are infinite possibilies when using technology and the use of technology tools often keep students attention.

This week also begins the setup of our groups for the course project. I was surprised that we were beginning the project so soon but this gives us time to meet and develop a plan for the project. I have decided to work with fellow collegues since we discuss technology integration concepts all the time and we work together on a regular basis. We are looking forward to implementing technology integration strategies and are trying to decide what type of classroom we should use to solve the sample scenerio.

This first week has been eventful and I am looking forward to working with my group on the sample scenerio.
