Learning Journey:Introduction to Educational Technology =]
Hi, everyone! I’m Gloria, an international exchange student in Elementary Education Program. I’m from University of Macau to study abroad at UIUC for one semester!
As we all know, 21st century is an era of information explosion, the pace of life is increasing with technological advancements. In order to help students equip themselves to be more competitive in the future. Fundamental use of technologies for teaching and learning should be addressed in nowadays education and should enhance learning through the use of multimedia. Therefore, I think this course would be very meaningful and helpful for pre-service teacher candidates because we can learn how to use the digital tools and resources effectively in the classroom setting and get ourselves ready in this global and digital society, it does benefit for the pre-service teachers, as well as the students we are going to teach! Really feel excited to learn with you and getting to know more how to integrate technologies with teaching and learning! Let's begin our learning journey !!! =]
