For the past weeks, I learned in the course Edu401 (Educational Technology) many new interesting things. I learned that technology doesn’t refer only to computer and projector which is the typical understanding for this word, but it surprisingly refers to any tool used to perform certain function in daily life in different areas. Starting with introducing us to the Web world and how it can be beneficial in the field of education was the real entrance for me in educational technology world. I learned how to create a class group like we did in Yahoo group and how it effects class communication and activities. I also created my first academic blog which was very exciting. More interestingly, I learned about using new things like Wikispace and Delicious, and how we can integrate them in teaching. In addition, during the past weeks we read two articles related to technology field which are Normalization, and Digital Natives and digital immigrants. These two articles introduced me to new interesting concepts which I think will encourage me more to explore the technology world.
Finally, I should say I was worried about how I would achieve in this course but over days I am feeling that I can achieve well Insha’Allah. Still, there are many new things to learn and I can’t wait to know what it will be.
