At the moment my interests are strongly focused on educational technology. I am thinking of how to design a course or workshop series on how to transform traditional classrooms and methods of delivery into places of collaborative learning using technology. Questions that arise include "why is technology important?", "what can technology do to enhance the learning experience?" and "why would we use technology in the classroom?".
Does this interest any of my colleagues in this course? Or are there any of you who may have skills or interests that might compliment my ideas and thoughts? Or perhaps we can collaborate to find an even more interesting field of study. Technology is not a new idea for the classroom. However, as technology has become part of our daily lives it's place in the educational milieu is becoming more relevant and timely.
I would find this an interesting topic to consider for instructional design..
As far as my style for learning...my habit is to be as punctual as possible with reading and posting. I have to be incredibly organized as my life revolves around many details and deadlines while I am teaching. This semester I am teaching five courses. One is being re-designed as I go due to a new format of delivery. Two are hybrid courses. And one is a course that someone else designed and I am delivering another section alongside hers so I have to follow her lead and her curriculum. Busy. I will devote time to this course on weekends, Tuesdays and Fridays as these are the days when I am not in the classroom. I hate to feel like I am falling behind so I will do my very best to be on top of the workload here. I do not foresee any obstacles at this point :)
