Lessons Learned

Over the twelve weeks of training on computer technology and multimedia in education, the “lesson learned” have give me capabilities and significantly upgrade my expectations for success in educational technology. I have gain more in the area of educational research that supports design, development and delivery of instruction using emerging technologies.
Emerging technology such as- Wireless –(PDA, and Cell phones); Collaborations software- Wiki; SharePoints and BBS; Synchronous Presentation Tools-Illuminate, WebEx; Video Conferencing Networks; Educational Repositories- LMS/LCMS; Podcasting- Educational Radio; Peer to Peer and Collaborative Software; Simulation and Gaming; Smart Agent Software- RSS Feeds; Video/Video on Demand; Interactive Television; iPods; PowerPoint Conversion Tools; Open Source Tools; and some other emerging that not even mention in note.
I have been able to create a learning experience that is delivered using one or more emerging technologies such as html, video conferencing and PowerPoint’s. Engage in technology tools like instant messenger (IM) and blogging for classroom discussion.
Also, I have developed strategies to help keeping updates on all these emerging technologies that arrive every six month. With ability to learn how education policies can be improved to plug gaps in control to upgrade the effectiveness of instructional processes throughout the education environment.
The lesson learned so far, is a rich source of materials for knowledge acquired in education, to be able to pass the knowledge gained to our student K-12 and college levels. Lesson learned can play a big role in instructional technology; all the lesson learned and knowledge gained will help solve problems from learning from traditional method of learning to e-learning environment.
The use of technologies in school is very significant for learners, and often quite difficult in the uncontrolled environment of a real school to neatly separate categories of technology use. As resourceful professionals, teachers are used to applying tools to tasks; a tool as flexible as a computer is often applied to a large number of teaching, learning, and administrative tasks.
Nowadays most of the emerging technologies have been integrated into a teacher’s or school’s curriculum; that is technology as a tool or catalyst to the learning in all school environments.
