This is a short blog about some of the reading the Picciano (2011) text, chapter 7-10 that are apart of liberty university's Leadership in Educational Technology Class #638. We were to reflect upon how this class and these chapters effected our prior thinking and how it aided what we are currently teaching or managing. I am reminded of the Bible verse that says in my English that all thing work together for the good of those that are called according to the purpose of God. I.m so sure of this because I can see this class being used for God.s purpose in my life and especially in those that we are teaching. Whether it be synchronous or asynchronous, blended or online live classes, they all can work for God's calling in Christ Jesus. Most of what is now being taught in this class pertains to the fullfilling of individual needs to model Christlike learning and teaching.Curriculum integration is a big factor in online education says Hall (2008). this all seems to happen better in 21st century technology and E-learning.Technology is helping to transform African education. Kiplagat (2014) "When students have access to information they have access to possibilities they did't have before."

Hi Verne,
ReplyDeleteThe world needs more people like you to follow the callings of Christ. Technology was one of my fears before working for AT&T, but I had to learn data and processing information, to make things work. Teaching students the use of technical devices amazes me in this part of my life. They need to learn how to communicate and collaborate with each other and other cultures around the world and this is what you are doing. Technology has come a long way since I started and it hasn’t completed its journey. To reach out to a world of people that need to learn and to do this through technology, with God’s enormous hands on this project, you WILL succeed. I wish that I could get to talk to you and learn more about what you are teaching. If you ever have the time, I can be reached at deborah.bishop86@yahoo.com. God’s speed dear person and keep walking in faith. TECHNOLOGY AT ITS BEST!
