Week One Assignments


The reading assignments, which I have chosen to label Chapter Insights, for etec500 will come from two texts.
The two textbooks are:


Jonassen, D.H., Peck,K.L., & Wilson,B. G. (1999). Learning With Technology: A Constructivist Perspective.


and


Marsano, R.J., Pickering, D. P., & Pollock, J.E. (2001). Classroom Instruction that Works: Research-Based Strategies for Increasing Student Achievement.


*Answers to Some Questions

I am pursuing a Masters in Instructional Technology as professional growth to enhance my knowledge, resume, and salary schedule. I am looking for new instruments for learning to teach my students. I am also working towards a Gifted And Talented Education Certification. I will use the knowledge I obtain to teach those students needing a differentiated instruction as required by state and district mandate.

I hope to learn new strategies and innovated techniques through the use of computer technology. As our text Learning With Technology states, “Within a few years, virtually all technical information will be stored online. Literacy for the next generation will require knowing how to use and manipulate these tools to locate and access multiple forms of information.” When the time comes and the doors open I want to be there with the ability to handle the future with confidence.
