A personal timeline of educational technology
ETEC 442
Summer 2012
…is teachers incorporating the use of an array of related technology
equipment/devices with students to foster their learning. This also includes
allowing students to be creative, interact with others from around the
world in gathering information as needed, collaborating with their peers in
a critical thought process, and to make their learning accessible to not just
their teachers and peers, but to many others as well. Educational
technology is not confined to a classroom, but it is also allowing students
to seek information out in their community and their world.

My first experience
with a computer was in
the 5th grade in 1987.
We used Apple
Macintosh computers
to track humpback
whales.
My junior year in high school (1994) we used overhead
projectors to solve math problems. I also took a
keyboarding class that allowed me to work with
computers too.
The technology equipment/tools I utilized in college are plentiful such as …
•Skype•Laulima•Elluminate•Computers•Projectors•E-mail•Gmail•MyMathLab•Online courses
• Owning my first Motorola cellular phone in 1996.
• Freedom to make call while driving in a car and/or walking outdoors.
• Longer phone reception than a home phone.
Interactive Engaging Mobile Children w/ learning
difficulties can access PECs (Picture Exchange Communication System)
Access to Internet Camera ready Video ready
I would like students’ to be able to experience learning by simulating their senses and curiosities through virtual learning.
•Endless learning possibilities
•Endless exploration
•What can’t be possible to explore CAN be possible
•Allows creativity
•Problem solving through trial and error
•Interactive
•Engaging
A challenge to using technology
in my future teaching career I
think will be support.
•To continue needed
workshops/education/informatio
n (technology is constantly
evolving).
•Provide ongoing needed
technology devices/tools to
conduct a classroom in a certain
manner (budget issues).
“Do not train a child to
learn by force or harness;
but direct them to it by
what amuses their minds,
so that you may be better
able to discover with
accuracy the peculiar bent
of the genius of each.”Plato (BC 427-BC 347) Ancient Greek Philosopher
