Video Presentation - Best Practices in Online Discussion Forums

Apple IPod Graphic Organizer Module 4

The Ipod Touch is a technological innovation that has been highly diffused. Many of our students currently have one or something similar. This tool does much of what a phone could do, but actually have a verbal conversation. Many of its apps can be adapted to fit in class instruction. It has access to the internet for collaboration and communication. It also has email or access to sites that allow interaction like Facebook and LinkedIn, and has apps like Twittelator Pro and Loopt for sharing videos and discovering places friends have been. Gps and travel apps can have a major impact in a lesson for a social studies class as would access to fitness and shopping sites in a math class. The Ipod could have a major impact on a classroom, it just needs to have that advantage discovered.

Technology and Media for Distance Education

Static and Dynamic Technology Used in Distance Education

Currently, distance education is mainly on the static level of interaction. Many of the things we do in the classes stem from streaming videos, audio and books. Discussion posts, blogs and email are mainly what is used to collaborate at this time. It will be very interesting to see how these classes would work using many of the dynamic innovations for distance learning. Dynamic media will redefine distance education. It will enhance the expectation of distance education for providing an environment of interaction of people from all parts of the world. Although this is true now, it is hard to feel that aspect of distance education while still working with static media. Once dynamic media starts to take off, there will be another face on distance education.
