Educ 560

As we all know technology have become a vital source in our lives  . The first thing  we do when we wake up is holding our phones to check the whats app or even we start our laptops to check our emails . Technology was able to extend into class room environments and it was integrated to serve learning objectives .  Educational media and technology course opens the door for teachers to make use of technology for their students' sake . In this course we have been given the chance to learn a lot of things , first we learned how to use the poll-everywhere application in which we could ask our students certain questions and they could answer immediately by any means of technology devices such as : Cell phones , twitter , and web browsers . Also we learned how to use Google forms to teach students how to do surveys in a fast way rather than doing it manually which helps them to be more productive and as a teacher i can do my own surveys to see the progress of my students . Most of the times i have lost a great number of  important files because i  have lost my  USB or my computer had been formatted but now after we have learned that Google drive allows you to  save any document, file or project whether using your cell phone , iPad or laptop I found a solution for my problem so that i will not lose anything valuable anymore . In this course we had been given a great experience in which we had to attend an online Webinar . In this Webinar there were a great number of well experienced people around the world and I had the chance to communicate with these people and to learn from their experiences . Also the host was well experienced and she had written a book about how to engage students in real world projects and the Webinar was also about this. I was bombarded with new ideas about how to prepare students to do real world projects and how can I organize their work through out the cycle of the project.
