Digital Badge L - Chapter 12
This chapter was all about different technologies. I found it interesting that the book included different stages that a person can be in according to their technology ability. The book includes an adoption stage. According to Maloy, Verock-O'Loughlin, Edwards, and Woolf, "at the adoption stage, a teacher knows enough to use technology in the classroom, but only at a basic level and only occasionally" (pg. 301). I hope to be comfortable enough with technology to be in this stage when I become a teacher. One concept that I found interesting was one-to-one laptop computing. I hope that i will have the chance to encounter this concept. It would be very helpful if every one of my students had their own computer to use in the classroom. the last interesting concept that I read about was BYOT, or BYOD (Bring Your Own Device). In this case, students can bring their own technology into the classroom. When i was in high school, this was considered and although there are many benefits, there will also be many downfalls to this concept if used in the schools.

Fun PhotoPeach (though I didn't see photo attributions in your references and a bit concerned about their copyright status?).
ReplyDeleteBYOD/T has certainly come with its controversies, but I think it will be prevalent in the future as the cost of 1-to-1 is so high and school districts have difficulty making it a priority. The other advantage, especially at the secondary level, of BYOD/T is that they are using their own devices most of the time anyway, so it gives teachers the opportunity to teach students how to use them properly and ethically (of course, that means teachers themselves need to know how to use them!)
