What is educational technology? Sept. 15, 2009

This week I spent a lot of time on content.   I knew it was not going to be the most interesting class, so I decided to start with examples of different types of technology and showed how the advances in technology have provided us with many options of how to teach the very same thing.  A special guest joined me, her name was "Cloe The Clown" and she is a hand puppet.  Cloe introduced the video for the week which was "Clown of God."  I talked about the importance of book selection with students briefly, as we will be doing that in future classes.  Then I dove right into the meat of the lesson.  It was a lot of information, but once again, students must know the history of their field.  We were all glad when the class ended, be they did each do one Web 2.0 Tool before the class was over and I think everyone enjoyed that.  I know I did.
