The Tech Wiki requirement was not easy for me. My research question was "Which innovative technologies can best capture the attention of secondary science students with ADHD?"
The project is designed well to assess teacher education students for what they are able to do with wikis. I had a difficult time because, as I stated in my wiki, I have trouble composing papers. I especially have a difficult time when I have to read multiple papers, draw conclusions, and then create a new whole from what I learned.
The learning experience as a whole was really useful. This class was the first time I had ever used a wiki and before then i thought that wikipedia was a curse word for drawing information from to do schoolwork and papers. I understand now just how useful it can be and that it is more credible than I had once viewed it.
I want to help students who have the same problems in school that i did and sometimes still do. Technology can be a great way to go about helping them. my recomendations were to use blogs and wikis, online timers and planners, and to use concept maps. Learning about how to help these students has helped me to prepare for teaching, expand my resource library, and use more tools that will benefit me in my own personal learning.
I might use wikis in my classroom, but i know that i will make screencasts. I enjoyed using screencasts as a way to create tutorials. They are very useful and fun to do. Although i like them, i dont agree with doing one as long as 4-5 minutes in one screencast. I think that i would have done better by doing 3 of them 1.5 minutes long. and having three different links to them.
