Concept Map Module 5

Concept Map

Currently, I am still a static instructor moving towards the middle  According to Moller, Static educators, are still teaching with lectures and as I say “still teaching the old school way”, but starting to use technology, such as videos, webpages and slides ( Moller, 2008).  I do include technology in my classroom, but I feel that I do not have enough freedom to let my students use wiki’s, blogs, and the internet on their own, this would be the middle of the road. I do use peer interaction and peer communication, but still I am very limited with what I can do in third grade.  

However, I am trying new technologies that will boost me into a more dynamic educator. It is easy to be a dynamic educator in a face to face environment, through discussion and questioning. I feel as I start trying new technology such as virtual simulation and gaming I will become the more dynamic teacher.

However, in order to make the online environment an optimal learning environment, the instructor needs to use technology that is more dynamic. Dynamic technology allows and encourages the learners to interact with one another.
