Unit 12






Here we after a great journey!! I'll post my end of course thoughts below later.


I am fortunate to be part of this class with such a diverse and global classmates. It such a cool feeling to be reaching out and working with classmates in the virtual world. I didn't initial give it much thought, but it's a powerful feeling!!!

This is what I've learned in ILT 5660:

-The Typography subject gave me a Joshua tree moment or "ah-ha!!" after looking around the web for really fun pictures taken from others around the world.Typography also has me thinking about CIV's that are involved in the lesson (Active, Supportive).

- I have a understanding for learning by story telling, active reading and also being aware of when to incorporate technology into a lesson plan. Technology has given us opportunity to make learning fun (blended learning).



- Better understanding of Horton: "Absorb, Do, Connect"

-Enjoy a Joshua Tree moment: Williams

- Read and immediately apply knowledge to relevant life experiences

- Thanks to Web 2.0 tools, We are interconnected in a way that we've never had before.

- Forming, Storming and Performing- Stages of developing a Webinar with a great team. It's easier said than done.

- Online learning is not easier than the traditional method.

- Writing learning objectives based on criteria is no easy task!!
