Video Post in Doc Sharing

Hello All,

I have uploaded the video assignment into the doc sharing section of the class. This was such a fun experience and now I will continue to shoot and edit videos in order to become more than an amateur.I am excited to see what others have done in the assignment!

Thank you,

Diane

Moving Toward Dynamic Technologies

Blog Post Week 9
Moving Toward Dynamic Technologies

STATIC

MID

DYNAMIC


Moller (2008) detailed the differences between static and dynamic tools of technology. What is found in the static area include tools that are useful but do not build on the learner’s knowledge base (2008). These tools include Podcasts, text, vidoecasts, and webpages. The static tools simply secure the information for the learner (2008).
At the other end of the spectrum is the dynamic technology. According to Moller (2008), these tools engage learners, giving them the ability to “manipulate and reflect”, constructing his or her own knowledge, rather than acquiring it from an instructor (p.1)
I find myself in the middle ground area. In this area between static and dynamic, usinf technological tools such as blogs, wikis, discussion boards and chats. Moller (2008) stated that learners in this area connect and interact with the material, creating new knowledge while comparing and analizing what is before them.
